Getty ImagesIn almost two decades, the U23 program faces its greatest challenge, and the person in charge is a 46-year-old individual holding the reins.
It may be hard to believe, but the USMNT is set to make a long-awaited comeback to the Olympic Games. After a hiatus since 2008, they have successfully qualified this time around. Back in the Beijing Games, they were under the guidance of Piotr Nowak, who served as Bob Bradley’s first-team assistant and led them to qualification.
After a span of 16 years, they have returned to the esteemed international athletic competition, getting ready to take part in the Paris Summer Games. Leading the team is Serbian manager Marko Mitrovic.

He has had an extensive career in football, playing professionally for 15 years across 14 different clubs.
