Message: [QUOTE="DeGrozz, post: 4484600, member: 205"] Right now, no. Wilfried Nancy will be on a meteoric rise and, unfortunately for American soccer, his trajectory is a top-5 league. If there was one individual , the Frenchman is the guy. He is probably the best coach currently in our domestic league. Deila could end up an amazing national team coach in the right circumstances. His players love him, he teaches and aggressive and attractive style and doesn't overcomplicate things. If he ever ends up back with Norway, they will be a really fun team to watch. I think he's gonna keep getting buckets of money at Liege after moving overseas and who knows where he'll go if they start qualifying for Euro competitions again. Struber has Bob Bradley written all over him. Boring, boring, boring, but effective with undermanned rosters. He may end up with a team towards the bottom of the EPL before next season kicks off. Cushing is interesting. Raised under Pep, won the Women's EPL with Man City when he was basically a kid, is as tactically as advanced as you'll see a coach in the US, but I wouldn't want him as a leader on the national team. He's probably the best in the league at making in-game adjustments but he tinkers, tinkers, tinkers with things until he finds something that works from the start. I'd LOVE him as a first assistant, but if he's going to take a role like that I would imagine it would have to be with his home country. I think those are the top-4 (foreign) individuals that coached in MLS last year. Now - if you want your best shot with an MLS coach, Jim Curtin is your guy. It will be ugly. It will be boring. We will look like Morocco, but he is the best defensive coach America has produced. I'm not feeling that for 2026 though. I feel like it has to be someone from the outside -- there will be a lot of push for Marsch, but he's a bigger system guy than Berhalter. There could be huge highs. There could be bigger lows. We'll see. [/QUOTE]
