U.S. Soccer has been gauging the interest of potential replacements for Jurgen Klinsmann — notably LA Galaxy coach Bruce Arena and Sporting Kansas City coach Peter Vermes –since late in 2015, sources told ESPN FC. One source said Tab Ramos, Klinsmann’s current assistant, could also be a candidate if Klinsmann is fired.

After the departure of Gerrard and Keane, Arena might entertain the idea.
