Commentary
Following the relative failure of the American team at the World Cup, coach Steve Sampson took the fall.
Despite possessing the best record and most accomplishments of any U.S. national team coach to date, he did the right thing and resigned shortly after the World Cup ended.
In the aftermath of his decision, the inevitable debate concerning his replacement followed.
The leading candidates were all foreign names. Among them was Carlos Queiroz, a former coach of Sporting Lisbon (Portugal), who finished a six-month stay in the United States reporting for the Federation on the state of player development in the United States.
Although he had been a failure as the coach of the MLS MetroStars, Carlos Alberto Parreira, who coached Brazil to the 1994 World Championship, was another big name that surfaced.
Other intriguing names were Dutch great Johan Cruyff and, strangely, former National Team coach Bora Milutinovic, who guided the American team to the second round of the 1994 World Cup.
lone American candidate: Bruce Arena, former coach of the U.S. Olympic Team and current coach of two-time M.L.sChamps D.C. United.
In the background, there was one
Arena was a longshot — not far
enough removed from the college game and not experienced enough at the international level, according to the conventional w i s d o m espoused at the time.
Two months later, it appears that Arena will
be announced as the coach as soon as D.C. United's season concludes.
Sam Pierron
Several of the candidates had obvious faults. Parreira's record was spotty. The only team with which he had managed to win consistently was the Brazilian national team—hardly a feat for the ages.
Cruyff didn't appear to be interested in the job.
rne hiring of Milutinovie would have been seen as something of a step
back, both in time line and in style. The American team played a much more attractive, attacking game under Sampson than it had under Milutinovic, whose U.S. teams played solely for the counterattack.
Queiroz seemed to be the ideal candidate. He is equipped to guide U.S. Soccer's player-development programs, having done the same in Portugal during the late 1980s and early 1990s.
He has extensive knowledge of the U.S. game, having coached the MetroStars for half of the 1996 season in addition to writing the aforementioned report. Before U.S. Soccer could offer him the job, he received an offer from the United Arab Emirates.
One can only assume that the sum was extraordinary, given the small nation's oil wealth.
Bruce Arena was left standing, still winning game after game for D.C. United, the best soccer franchise this nation has seen since the New York Cosmos' heyday in the late '70s and early '80s.
While Arena has limited international experience, he took a U.S. Olympic team that had performed disastrously in its warm-up matches and
reshaped them in his image, guiding them to a strong performance in the 1996 Games. One can only assume that, given four years, he can do the same and more for the senior squad.
One challenge for Arena will be finding that player. Marco Ect维erry does it to perfection for D.C. United, but he is Bolivian and won't be performing for Arena with the American team.
Claudio Reyna threatens to be that player from time to time, but his World Cup performance in a similar role was weak, and his form for the club team in Germany (VFL Wollstaff) has been poor this season.
Arena will also have to learn to do something that Steve Sampson did to perfection; interact with the Spanish-language media. Sampson — and Milutinovic before him — broke down years of resentment by being fluent, even eloquent, in Spanish.
In the final analysis, Arena will prove that America doesn't need foreign coaches to succeed. Foreign development systems, perhaps, but not foreign coaches.
Pierron is an Olathe senior in political science.
