It turns out the rumors were true. Jürgen Klinsmann did speak with U.S. Soccer Federation president Sunil Gulati about the national team coaching job following the World Cup, just like he did four years ago. And just like four years ago, Klinsmann was unable to reach an agreement because he wanted more control than Gulati was willing to permit.
Klinsmann shared that very tasty nugget of information, plus some veiled criticism of Bob Bradley and a rather shocking joke about Germany's historic misbehavior, during a lengthy chat with former MLS player Sasha Victorine posted Monday morning on the Kansas City Wizards website.
"Oh yes, we had conversations, maybe about 3-4 weeks period of time, and very positive conversations," Klinsmann said when Victorine asked him about the U.S. job. "But it didn't get to a positive ending because we couldn't put into writing what we agreed on verbally. It was as simple as that. That was unfortunate, so it didn't happen at the end of the day, but that's just the way it is."
