US Soccer has extended Jurgen Klinsmann’s contract for another 4 years, through the 2018 World Cup. Klinsmann also becomes the Technical Director for U.S. Soccer. “I am very fortunate to continue the work we started more than two and half years ago,” said Klinsmann. “It’s exciting to see the progress we have made, and we continue to make improvements on all fronts. The role of Technical Director is a huge challenge and also a huge opportunity as we look to keep connecting the dots to the Youth National Teams, Coaching Education, the Development Academy and the grassroots efforts in this country. These are fascinating topics and I am excited work with so many talented people and hear fresh ideas. For sure it means more work, but also many more fulfilling opportunities.” Read more at USSoccer.com
