, according to multiple reports. The Argentine coach, who has been out of work since being sacked by Tottenham last year, is said to have accepted the job offer from the United States Men’s National Team.
This move comes as a surprise to many in the football world, as Pochettino has previously spoken about his desire to return to club management. However, it appears that the opportunity to lead a national team was too good to turn down.
Sources close to Pochettino have confirmed that he is eager to get started in his new role and is already making plans for future international tournaments. The USMNT has struggled in recent years, failing to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, and there is hope that Pochettino can turn things around.
“I am excited to take on this new challenge and help the USMNT reach its full potential,” Pochettino said in a statement. “I believe that we have a talented group of players and I am confident that we can achieve great things together.”
While Pochettino’s appointment has not yet been officially confirmed by the US Soccer Federation, it is expected to be announced in the coming days. In the meantime, fans and pundits alike are already speculating about what the future holds for the team under Pochettino’s leadership.
“I think Pochettino is the right man for the job,” former USMNT player Landon Donovan said. “He has a proven track record of success at the club level and I think he can bring that winning mentality to the national team.”
Only time will tell if Pochettino can lead the USMNT to glory, but one thing is for certain: his appointment has certainly generated a lot of buzz in the football world.
