Ernie Stewart has been named as manager of USMNT. What. The. Fuck.

I was going to boycott Qatar anyway

 

With a primary focus on the senior MNT, here are the core responsibilities that Stewart will assume in his position:

 

--Leading the search and hiring process for the Head Coach;

 

--Creating the environment—both day-to-day and long-term—for the Head Coach and the Men’s National Team to succeed;

 

--Ensuring that U.S. Soccer’s Style of Play, Team Tactical Principles, and Key Qualities are being implemented within the Men’s National Team;

 

--Creating a player profile for each position on the field based on the Style of Play, Team Tactical Principles, and Key Qualities;

 

--Working with the Head Coach to create positional depth charts based on the player profile, accounting for player’s current and potential ability to compete at the highest levels in the world;

 

--Evaluating and monitoring players coming up through the Youth National Team programs and ensuring that the best talent is identified and cultivated; and,

 

--Communicating and working with the Sport Development Departments to drive technical alignment and integration, including Coaching Education, Player Development, High Performance, Talent Identification and Youth National Teams.

Sounds like he'll be the chief influencer in charge of disrupting the paradigm by optimizing metrics.

Gregg Berhalter named national team manager. More of the same then.

 

Zero reason they couldn’t have made that appointment a year ago. Also a total joke that they didn’t even really consider anyone else.

Managed Columbus Crew for 4(?) years. Hammarby in Sweden before that. Former USMNT defender.

Tata Martino and Juan Carlos Osorio as well. Fine if they interview all these guys but opt for Berhalter instead. Just make the case. But there’s no indication they ever really considered anyone else. Reeks of nepotism, as Berhalter’s bro is a USMNT bigwig.

Guy in charge of hiring him was his old teammate and close friend as well, I read.

I don't mind Berhalter, just the manner in which it happened. Also annoying that Oscar Pareja was the other option and they went with Berhalter. Pareja was my hope from day one, one of the few MLS coaches willing to play his academy products.
