Pochettino is in talks with the national team that will host the 2026 World Cup
The U.S. national team continues its search for a new head coach and has entered negotiations with one of the most renowned managers in the world.
According to The Athletic, Argentine Mauricio Pochettino could be the next head coach of the U.S. national team. He has shown interest in the position and has instructed his agent to discuss the terms of a potential deal.
Pochettino’s most recent role was with Chelsea, from which he was unexpectedly dismissed despite a strong finish to the season.
Following a disappointing performance at the 2024 Copa America, the U.S. Soccer Federation dismissed Gregg Berhalter, who had held the position since the summer of 2018.
It’s worth noting that the U.S., along with Mexico and Canada, will host the 2026 World Cup.
