I disagree entirely, I think the whole point of this hire is what he brings to our future as a nation and our soccer identity. There is nothing he can do to change our pool of talent right now, and this is not a pool with the talent to challenge the top teams. That is a fact, nothing changing a coach can hide. But Klins brings two critical factors to the forefront, an idea that youth is key(and a willingness to trust it) and a passion for attacking soccer. In my mind, if this hire is a success, we will start bearing fruits from it in 10 years. No doubt he will be judged(unfairly) on results in the short term before he is able to put his stamp on the team. But this hire excites me for what changes we may see with the U-20 squads or his collaboration with Reyna to overhaul youth development in this country.
