**USMNT Coach Search U-Turn Leaves Jesse Marsch "Devastated and Angry"** Jesse Marsch, the current head coach of Canada, has spoken out about his experiences with the United States men's national team. In an interview with *GiveMeSport*, released on Thursday, Marsch revealed that he was initially led to believe he would be the team's next head coach, only to be abruptly replaced by Gregg Berhalter in 2023. This unexpected turn of events left Marsch "devastated and angry" at the time. However, Marsch has since expressed gratitude for the current situation, stating that he is "thankful and really happy to be where I'm at." Marsch's emotions were further exacerbated by the fact that he had to walk away from a handshake agreement to become manager of Leicester City, a decision that altered the course of his life. "I got a call from U.S. Soccer when I was literally being fingerprinted [for a visa] at Leicester," Marsch said. "I was ready to take that job, so it changed the trajectory of my life." The abrupt change in plans also affected Marsch's personal life, as he had to pull out of a match against Bournemouth, where he was set to meet with the Leicester City team. Marsch expressed regret over the situation, stating that he felt "terrible" about the decision and that it was the second time he had pulled out of a club. "In another lifetime, Leicester would have been a really cool experience," Marsch said. The U.S. Soccer Federation declined to comment on the matter when approached by ESPN. Marsch's current role as head coach of Canada will see him lead the team into the upcoming World Cup, co-hosted with the United States and Mexico this summer. Marsch has stated that he has "no interest in the U.S. job" and that he feels more aligned with the values and vision of Canada Soccer. "Landing here in Canada, I just feel like I have found a team, a fan base and a country that fits with who I am and with the things I believe in, and that is also willing to think about how to work together in the football community to build the sport in a way that is beneficial for everybody," Marsch said.
