Jürgen Klinsmann was the coach when the USMNT lost in the 2014 World Cup and also when the men failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup.  Their current coach is Gregg Berghalter.

Jürgen and Jill

2014 / 2015 World Cup Jürgen and Jill went up the hill To fetch a World Cup Title Jürgen fell down Without the crown- There reigned Jill At the top of the hill. . . 2018 / 2019 World Cup (Gold Cup) Jürgen didn't qualify to go up the hill All he could do was waive at Jill On the same day Jill Won her second in a row (US Men's Team lost to Mexico) Coach Jill Ellis is smart like a fox Her US Women's National Team rocks!
