Pochettino Becomes Head Coach of the US Men 's National Soccer Team

The United States Men 's National Team recently went through a coaching debacle involving Gregg Berhalter , who coached the team for the previous Copa America . However , after a scandal involving Gio Reyna and his parents , Berhalter was removed from the team . The team 's leadership then set out to find the best possible coach for the talented young players , initially reaching out to Jurgen Klopp , but ultimately settling on Mauricio Pochettino , the former Head coach of Tottenham Hotspur F.C. Pochettino , who previously led the Spurs to a Champions League final , will now be taking on the role of head coach for the USMNT.

Pochettino Leads USMNT: Ultimate Victory

In their quest to secure Pochettino as the head coach , the USMNT turned to sporting director Matt Crocker , who had a previous connection with Pochettino during their time at Southampton . This relationship facilitated the negotiation process , ultimately leading to Pochettino 's imminent confirmation as the USMNT head coach . It is expected that Pochettino will sign a contract to lead the team until the end of the 2026 World Cup , where the USMNT will be participating as hosts . The Argentine manager is set to bring his expertise and leadership to guide the team to success in the upcoming major event.

Former Tottenham and Chelsea head coach , Mauricio Pochettino , emerged as a top target for the US men 's national team coaching position . Pochettino 's successful track record at various clubs , including leading Southampton to an eighth - place finish in the Premier League and achieving remarkable league finishes with Spurs , make him an attractive choice for the USMNT . Despite never managing a national team , Pochettino 's experience at the club level , including a Champions League final appearance with Tottenham , positions him as a strong candidate for the role.

The USMNT has been without a coach since parting ways with Gregg Berhalter following a disappointing group - stage exit in the Copa America . Pochettino 's potential appointment as head coach is seen as a significant move by U.S. Soccer , with expectations of bringing in a big - name manager to lead the team . As the federation plans for the upcoming friendly matches against Canada and New Zealand , former U.S. under-20 men 's national team coach , Mikey Varas , is set to lead the team . With Pochettino 's imminent arrival , the USMNT aims to elevate its performance under his guidance and make a mark on the international stage.
