Roberto Donadoni -- AC Milan legend, MLS veteran, briefly managed Italy during 2008, where he showed some willingness to get rid of aging and useless "name" players, a position ultimately vindicated in 2010.
Mark Hughes -- unfairly sacked by Man City, left Fulham to pursue new opportunities. He coached Wales, so that's almost international experience.
Hiddink is coaching Turkey, Jose Mourinho is unavailable, Maradona is insane, Klinsmann just isn't interested, and for God's sakes no more MLS / American managers! (Not even Piotr Nowak.) It's time to take the U.S. national team to the next level, and we're not going to do that with a manger who's not familiar with European league play. And many who are.
Leadership is Leadership, right? So let's have Coach K. work the same magic he's worked with USA Basketball, and hire a bunch of assistant coaches to take care of the Xs and Os, or whatever the soccer equivalent are (tildes and umlauts?)
Though this is more akin to rosterbation than casturbation, which means that the correct answers are "Colby Rasmus," "Jesus Montoya," and "Felix Hernandez."
I'm not too proud to step on Isaac's joke - NPH? Anne Hathaway?

I think a certain fat Spanish waiter is still available. But hell no.
