Former USMNT defender Alexi Lalas has an answer for who he thinks should be the program's next manager — himself.
Appearing on "The Herd" with guest host Jason McIntyre, Lalas admitted that he would take the job "in a second" if the invitation was offered.
If the United States Soccer Federation came to me and asked me to coach this team... I would do it in a second. Out of a sense of responsibility and, yeah, out of a sense of confidence — maybe even bordering on arrogance in terms of what I feel that we could do with this group.
Soccer fans reacted to his recent comments on social media.
"I speak for the whole nation when I say, we DO NOT want that," a user tweeted.
"I'd deadass renounce my citizenship," another said.
"I wouldn't watch another USMNT game for the rest of my life if this happens. Get this dude off television too, good lord," a fan replied.
"I actually enjoy Alexi but man lol this would be a wild ride," another person commented.
"Good thing nobody would ever ask him lmao."

The USSF is rumored to be "reviewing" things after some embarrassing losses in Copa America group stage.
Legendary U.S. goalkeeper Tim Howard has said that the team should go after ex-Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.
We'll see what they ultimately decide in the coming weeks.
