The Dream: Reports Are Out There That US Soccer Plans To Make Pep Guardiola Our Top Coaching Candidate, Can't Let Him Say No

Here we go again with the Pep to US rumors. This has been a thing for basically 12 years now

Now it's a little different. Now Pep isn't currently coaching. He saw Poch able to change how this US team plays and this new group coming in. There's something to build on and I will go to my grave that US Soccer is the best job in the world. You're not expected to win the World Cup. If you just have us playing to a level that is fun and with some pride, you're basically beloved. I mean Poch did that and he's basically the best manager we've had since the days of Bruce Arena. 

Obviously it's not going to be easy. But US Soccer has a ton of money to deliver to a big time coach. That's especially true with the buy out from Manchester United and Poch. You call Pep. You remind him about his time living in New York and how much he loved it. You tell him he can do whatever he wants. You show him the highlights of Balogun and Tillman and remind him that Cavan Sullivan is a teenager and that whole group. You just get him in the door and keep him through 2030. That's the goal now. 

It's important that we get a coach who is bigger than the players. We saw that with Gregg vs the players. He let them do whatever and that led to the demise of that era. Pochettino was the known commodity and that's how you get development with Alex Freeman, Sebastian Berhalter, Flo Balogun and that whole group. This is the dream though. This was always the plan and now it's time to make it official.
