As we all know, the USMNT’s attempts to hire former Liverpool boss, Jurgen Klopp, have gone south. The US team has decided that Klopp’s Premier League rival Mauricio Pochettino is the one to lead the USMNT to the next FIFA World Cup. Though Klopp has slipped away, the USMNT camp will surely get a flavor of Liverpool’s legacy in the coming days.

One of the German coach’s former assistants will now join the USMNT in a unique coaching role.

The US Soccer has hired Klopp’s former deputy to bolster USMNT’s decent reserve of goalkeepers. This new hiring comes shortly after the USMNT named Mikey Varas its interim coach, while Mauricio Pochettino’s arrival looms over.

Here’s the former Liverpool insider who is going to pair up with Mauricio Pochettino

Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool exit has prompted around seven members of his coaching staff to follow his suit and leave Anfield. The Reds’ former goalkeeper assistant coach Jack Robinson was one among them. Thanks to the USMNT, Robinson has now found a new job. The US Soccer has appointed the 37-year-old as the head of goalkeeping for the USMNT.

The coming days will see him closely work with the likes of Gaga Slonina and Matt Turner, while he awaits Mauricio Pochettino’s arrival. Although Gaga Slonina was not picked for the upcoming friendlies, Robinson’s experience could prove critical for the national team’s young talent.

Meanwhile, Jack Robinson’s USMNT move has interestingly completed a swap between the US Soccer and Liverpool. USMNT’s former head of goalkeeping Fabian Otte joined Liverpool’s new boss, Arne Slot’s coaching staff. And Robinson, a former Liverpudlian, has replaced Otte in the American camp.

Besides his Liverpool stint, what does Robinson have in his resume? Let’s find out.

Joining the US camp before Pochettino, Robinson boasts an impressive CV

The soccer world expected Mauricio Pochettino to take the USMNT’s reins before this month’s friendlies start. However, US Soccer chose Gregg Berhalter’s assistant Mikey Varas to lead the USMNT in the clashes against Jesse Marsch’s Canada and New Zealand. And, as per reports, Jack Robinson will start working as the USMNT’s goalkeeping coach before the friendlies begin later this week.

Robinson was a part of Klopp’s Liverpool project for over six years. So, he has coached Alisson Becker during Liverpool’s triumphs in the UEFA Champions League and the Premier League. Before that, the 37-year-old was a part of England’s U-16 and U-15 teams.

In addition, he has gained coaching experience with young players at the Manchester United academy, as well as at the academies of Leeds United and Crystal Palace. The Englishman holds a UEFA B license for coaching and a UEFA A license for goalkeeper coaching.
