Jurgen Klinsmann has been sacked as United States coach on Tuesday following two straight losses in the final round of World Cup qualifying.
Klinsmann, who has coached the men's national team since replacing Bob Bradley in 2011, had been under contract through the 2018 World Cup.
The former Bayern Munich and Germany manager's time with the U.S. was cut short after his side lost to Mexico 2-1 at home on Nov. 11 and fell 4-0 in Costa Rica four days later.
The U.S. had never lost its first two matches of the fifth and final round of CONCACAF World Cup qualifying, and Klinsmann accepted the blame for his team's poor play to open the Hex.
“I’ll take responsibility, it’s no problem at all,” Klinsmann said. “It’s also a learning point.
Six months ago, we were in the semifinal of the Copa America and now we have two defeats to start the Hexagonal. That’s how fast it goes. It’s soccer. Things can turn around very quickly. It is for us now a negative moment."
