McCarthy reveals he could be on his way to the US, saying: “I had three interviews in the MSL. That’s where I could be targeting to go.
“For now, they are towards the end of their season and they are just waiting for the playoffs to crown the champions. After that, they will decide.
“But I’m looking forward to one of those positions in the MLS which I was interviewed for. I would really like to coach there and improve my career.”
He adds: “If you dream small, you achieve small, but if you dream big, you achieve big things and that’s what I’m doing. I am dreaming big and I am looking at going to the MLS and experience the game there and see what we can achieve.
“I have set my ambitions very high and that’s why I went for those interviews..”
