Life After Goals: An Interview With Ex-USMNT Striker Jozy Altidore
Urban Pitch interviewed former USMNT striker Jozy Altidore to gain insight into his post-retirement life and his perspectives on the current state of U.S. soccer. Altidore, who hung up his boots in 2023, speaks to his diverse career beyond soccer and his thoughts on Christian Pulisic and Cavan Sullivan. Since retiring, Altidore has become a broadcaster, an investor, and a co-founder of various businesses.
Broadcasting in Spanish for Telemundo's 2026 World Cup coverage proved to be a challenging yet rewarding experience for Altidore. He appreciated the amount of work that goes into producing high-quality broadcasts and the pride that goes into it. Despite the language barrier, Altidore found that with practice, he could deliver a confident and engaging commentary.
When asked whether there's an oversaturation of former players in the U.S. soccer media landscape, Altidore believes it's a natural outcome of the sport's growth. He thinks it's positive to see former players share their perspectives and continue contributing to the conversation, as it brings variety and new viewpoints to the table. Altidore emphasizes the importance of surrounding oneself with the right people and seeking opportunities that can positively impact people's lives.
