Washington, Oct 31 (Xinhua) US Soccer Federation president Sunil Gulati said he had talks with former Germany coach Juergen Klinsmann about coaching the national team but no agreement had been reached so far.

"I'm not going to sit here and deny that we've spoken to Juergen Klinsmann since he told (the media) last week that he has had some informal conversations," Gulati told a teleconference Monday.

"We have not made any decisions about who will be coaching our national team. We certainly haven't made any offers," he added.

Klinsmann, who took Germany to the World Cup semi-finals this year, told the New York Times Friday he was interested in replacing current US football coach Bruce Arena, whose contract was not renewed after eight years of coaching the national team.

Gulati said the federation was still holding discussions with four or five prospective candidates and a decision was expected late next month.
