the Galaxy to MLS Cup 2009 where they lost to Real Salt Lake on penalty kicks. Sarachan would remain with the Galaxy through 2016, during which they won MLS Cups in 2011, 2012, and 2014. Return to United States In 2017, Sarachan returned to his previous position of being the U.S. Men's National Team assistant coach. He once again was assisting head coach Bruce Arena, who was in his second stint as head coach for the national team. The U.S. Men's National Team failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, and Arena subsequently resigned as the head coach. Sarachan was then named as the acting Men's National Team coach for their friendly match versus Portugal on November 14, 2017. Sarachan remained interim head coach of the USMNT until November 20, 2018. Because of the team's failure to qualify for the World Cup, Sarachan's stint as interim head coach did not involve any tournaments or qualification matches and only friendlies. On December 2, 2018, it was announced that Gregg Berhalter had been selected as the new coach of the USMNT. North Carolina FC On December 17, 2018, USL Championship side North Carolina FC announced Sarachan as their new head coach.
