I think Vanney’s candidacy for being the next USMNT coach is actually a little cloudier now.
I think he was the lead horse to go in post WC 2018, but they’ll move earlier than that now, and Vanney’s special relationship with Bradley and Altidore doesn’t matter anymore.
There is of course a scenario where both Bez and Vanney go to the USMNT together right away, and give them total control. Seems unlikely though.
