Leaked documents suggest former USA and Blackburn goalkeeper Brad Friedel is on the shortlist for Secretary of Defense.
The veteran shot-stopper retired from football last year after a professional career spanning 21 years. President elect Donald Trump is said to be impressed by Friedel's experience at organising defence against the toughest opponents.
His appointment would signal a less hawkish approach to foreign policy and a possible thaw in relations with Russia.
However, Friedel faces stiff opposition from outspoken rock singer Ted Nugent, who critics fear will convince Trump to make him Defense Secretary instead so he can nuke the lot of them and be done with it.
