Who is the head coach of the Canadian national team?

The Canadian national team got their coach only a month ago, and it was American specialist Jesse Marsch. The 50-year-old coach has a lot of experience on the old continent, having been Ralf Rangnick's assistant at RB Leipzig in the 2018-2019 season.

From 2019 he became head coach of RB Salzburg, and in the summer of 2021 he returned to Leipzig, but already as head coach. True, at the head of the Bulls he did not stay long, and said goodbye to the team already at the beginning of December of the same year.

His last place of work was English Leeds, which he took in February 2022, but he worked in the team for almost a year, after which he was fired.

How did Canada qualify for the Copa América 2024?

Team Canada, as a North American team, had to go through the sieve of qualifying for the CONCACAF Nations League. In the quarter-finals, the Canadians lost to Jamaica under the away goal rule, so they had to play an extra playoff game.

The team beat Trinidad and Tobago 2-0 and earned a trip to the Copa América.
