USMNT
With the USA set to play host to the 2026 World Cup, along with supporting roles from Canada and Mexico, they want a team worthy of featuring on the highest stage. Right now, though, the US men’s national team is in the doldrums.
They were stunningly eliminated from the CONCACAF qualifying rounds of World Cup 2018, with the likes of Costa Rica, Panama and Honduras all finishing above them in a final table in which they won only three of 10 matches.
Following that catastrophe, the US have failed to find a full-time head coach, with Dave Sarachan having performed an interim role for 11 months.
For Wenger, it could provide an opportunity to try a different adventure, one that may prove particularly attractive if he wants to take a step back from the day-to-day life of management.
The sport in the States continues to grow, with the likes of Wayne Rooney and Zlatan Ibrahimovic having been tempted across to MLS in order to play out their careers, and after snaring a couple of Europe’s finest players of the last two decades, the US will try to lure one of the continent’s greatest managers too.
