Is it time to change coach? Bruce Arena seems totally lost on this stage?

Question

And who should replace him?

Answer 1

Yes, it is time to change the USA coach,. even though the team has good players the strategy is incorrect, or already known. The USA Fed. has to look for a Coach with experience in this kind of competitions, and in European football, totally different from MLS

Answer 2

No, No, and NO! Bruce Arena is the best coach the team has ever had. And if he is to be replaced by any a new coach, he has to be someone in the MLS system. We do not need a foreign coach, look at our history with them.

As for the World Cup, the team and coaching did a lousy job against the Czech Republic. However, the team did well against Italy and should be able to win against Ghana.

Answer 3

I don't think so. As ugly as it was, it was Arena's tactics that allowed the US to draw with Italy--one of the top teams in the world. I thought that Arena adapted well after allowing his team to play too open a style against a very slick Czech team. We should wait to see what happens with the Ghana game. If Arena can get a win against what I think is one of the most talented attacking teams in the tournament, he should stay on. He's a real winner and I doubt there are many American coaches at his level. The only way you really replace him is with a top coach from abroad like a Capello or a Scolari...

Answer 4

In all my years of playing and watching football, only once I saw a coach win a game. That was last year against Mexico. Coachs have very little influence in a game. Players do.

Answer 5

Not after he got 9-man USA through the Italy game. However, if you are a Ghana fan, by all means change him and I am sure Ghana will warmly show you their appreciation during and after the match!
