Pochettino has just become the US coach and has already made history. How is this possible?

The U.S. Men's National Soccer Team has finally appointed a new head coach. The position has been given to Argentine Mauricio Pochettino, who has already made history.

Details: According to ESPN, the coach’s salary is set at six million dollars per year. While this is less than his earnings at Chelsea, Pochettino becomes the highest-paid coach in the history of USMNT.

Reminder: The Argentine's contract with the U.S. Soccer Federation runs until the summer of 2026. Pochettino explained his decision to lead the U.S. team by his fascination with the journey of the team and the country.

The U.S. is one of the three host nations for the 2026 World Cup, co-hosting the tournament with Canada and Mexico. This will be the first time in history that the World Cup is held simultaneously in three countries.

At the 2022 World Cup, the U.S. team reached the Round of 16 but was defeated by the Netherlands with a score of 1:3.

In Europe, Pochettino is known for his work not only with Chelsea but also with Tottenham, PSG, Southampton, and Espanyol.
