Mauricio Pochettino to Lead USMNT into 2026 World Cup After Copa America Debacle
Aug 15, 2024, 07:35 AM
Mauricio Pochettino, the former manager of Tottenham, PSG, and Chelsea, has agreed to become the head coach of the U.S. men's national soccer team (USMNT). This appointment comes as the team prepares for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which the United States will co-host. Pochettino's hiring is seen as a significant move for US Soccer, given his successful track record in European club football, including leading Tottenham to a Champions League final. He will succeed Gregg Berhalter and work alongside US Soccer sporting director Matt Crocker, with whom he has a history from their time at Southampton. The decision to hire Pochettino reflects the US Soccer Federation's desire for a high-profile manager who can command respect both within the team and globally. This move follows the recent Copa America debacle, indicating a strategic shift ahead of hosting the 2026 World Cup.
