U.S. soccer taps Bruce Arena to replace Jurgen Klinsmann

U.S. soccer announced the hiring of Bruce Arena to be their new head coach a day after firing Jurgen Klinsmann. Klinsmann was fired following a pair of defeats to begin the final phase of World Cup qualifying. Arena has been coach and general manager of the Los Angeles Galaxy of Major League Soccer for the last eight years. He's also hoisted multiple MLS Cups. Arena headed the U.S. national team during its run to the quarterfinals of the 2002 World Cup and again during its disappointing 2006 campaign. He will formerly take over Dec. 1.
