Former Chelsea and Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino is on the verge of agreeing to a deal to lead the USA men’s national team as their new head coach. Talks are in advanced stages, with Pochettino being the primary target to guide the team through their home World Cup in 2026.
Despite receiving numerous offers from England and Europe, Pochettino is inclined to accept the USA role. The 52-year-old Argentine has never managed a national team before, but his impressive club managerial experience makes him an attractive candidate.
Pochettino’s achievements include leading Southampton to early success, guiding Tottenham to their first Champions League final in 2019, and winning a Ligue 1 title with Paris Saint-Germain.
Once the deal is finalized, Pochettino will work alongside US Soccer sporting director Matt Crocker, with whom he previously collaborated during his time at Southampton. The pair’s familiarity is expected to facilitate a smooth transition.”
