Philadelphia Union Coach Jim Curtin not interviewed for USMNT Job
Chester, PA: It is exciting when one of your players or coaches are in consideration to represent your county on the big stages like the Olympics, World Cup, Gold Cup or Copa America.
Last week, USA Soccer would announce that Gregg Berhalter is back as the Head Coach of the U.S. Men’s National Team.

Would it have been cool to have Jim Curtin as the Head Coach or even as an assistant coach for the U.S. Men’s National Team? Of course, but Jim has done an awesome job in building the Philadelphia Union to the team that they are & now people in the city and the rest of the nation are taking notice.
What Jim has done down in Chester making Philadelphia one of the new “5 for 5” teams in the city with the Eagles, Sixers, Phillies & Flyers.
