Arena succeeds Klinsmann as US coach

Bruce Arena was rehired Tuesday for a second stint as United States head coach, replacing sacked German Jurgen Klinsmann. The 65-year-old American guided the United States to the 2002 World Cup quarter-finals during his previous tenure from 1998 to 2006. "Any time you get the opportunity to coach the national team it's an honor," said Arena, who had been coaching Major League Soccer's Los Angeles Galaxy, and takes up his new role on December 1.
