Matarazzo appears to commit to Hoffenheim amid U.S. speculation
Hoffenheim coach Pellegrino Matarazzo has distanced himself from reports saying he will be the next coach of the U.S. men’s national team.
“Creating clarity and calm in this turbulent phase is extremely important. I am proud to be the coach of this team and I am very much looking forward to competing with the boys in European competition in the new season,” he stated.
Matarazzo said in a Hoffenheim statement on Tuesday.
Matarazzo is American and impressed by leading Hoffenheim to seventh in the Bundesliga last term.
The new season is just weeks away.
Interim sporting director Frank Kramer added, “For us, there was and is no question that we are going into the new season with our coach. Last season and recent days at the training camp have shown that the coaching team and the squad are moving in the same direction.”
Last week, the club immediately parted ways with sporting director Alexander Rosen.
