Hire a Technical Director
The federation has only had one technical directorever!and that was Jurgen Klinsmann, who took on the job while serving as head coach.
This position is necessary but it should never be the same person as the head coach. The TD should be the coach's boss and should govern the national team. Like most federations, the TD should be in charge of organizing camps, hiring coaches, overseeing call-ups, evaluating the player pool, and working with the youth technical director, Tab Ramos. The TD is typically a long-term visionary of the national team program.
That's actually the one thing Klinnsman was competent at, and helped move us forward with. He compared us to other countries, and knew we were deficient here. We need a Director that streamlines the talent from youth academies forward.akm91 said:

Seems like this may be more important than the next head coach.
What to do next?
Is it a big issue for the coach to speak English? I think Bielsa doesn't speak English.fig96 said:
Guys I at least talk to:
- Bielsa
- Koemann (might be coaching Holland sooner than later)
- Martino
Please, no Vermes. Not so hot on the idea of Porter either, we need someone with at least some national team or international experience.
Luckily they had already started this development commitment a couple years ago, need to keep increasing in that regards.MidTnAg said:
Player Development is more important than a head coach of the national team. Without the players, the greatest coach in the world is not going to get us to the World Cup again.
