for exhibitions against Canada and New Zealand while a deal hasn't been announced for Mauricio Pochettino to succeed Gregg Berhalter.
Varas is a former Dallas assistant and was coach of the U.S. under-20 team from November 2021 until August 2023, when he became one of Berhalter’s assistants. The 41-year-old led the U.S. to the 2022 CONCACAF title, earning the Americans’ first men’s Olympic berth since 2008, and to the quarterfinals of the 2023 Under-20 World Cup, where they lost to Uruguay 2-0.
Eight players were dropped: goalkeeper Sean Johnson, defenders Miles Robinson and Shaq Moore along with Carter-Vickers, Antonee Robinson, Adams, McKennie and Weah. In selecting Schulte and Kochen, Varas bypassed Colorado's Zack Steffen, who hasn’t played for the Americans since their final World Cup qualifier in March 2022. Schulte and Tim Ream, who transferred to Charlotte from Fulham, are the only players from Major League Soccer.
Gianluca Busio also is hurt and Tanner Tessmann just transferred to Lyon following a shortened preseason with Venezia.
