Christian Pulisic has weighed in on the potential hiring of Mauricio Pochettino as the next head coach of the United States Men’s National Team, declaring that it is “time for a change.”
The former Tottenham Hotspur manager has emerged as a frontrunner to replace Gregg Berhalter, who was ousted from his position back in July. Pulisic, who currently plays for AC Milan, expressed his approval of Pochettino’s potential appointment, stating that he admires the Argentine’s coaching style and believes he could bring a fresh perspective to the USMNT.
In a recent interview, Pulisic said, “I think Pochettino is a fantastic coach. He has a proven track record of developing young players and implementing an attacking style of play. I believe he would be a great fit for the USMNT and could help us reach new heights.”
Furthermore, Pulisic added, “With all due respect to Gregg Berhalter, I think it’s time for a change. We need someone who can push us to the next level and inspire us to achieve our goals. Pochettino could be that person.”
While nothing has been confirmed yet, reports suggest that Pochettino is seriously considering taking on the challenge of leading the USMNT. According to sources close to the coach, he views the opportunity as a chance to make his mark on the international stage and help develop American soccer talent.
When asked about the potential move, Pochettino remained tight-lipped but hinted at his interest in the position. “I have always admired the passion and talent of American players. If the opportunity to coach the USMNT presents itself, it is definitely something I would consider,” said Pochettino.
As speculation continues to swirl surrounding Pochettino’s potential appointment, Pulisic and other members of the USMNT are eagerly awaiting an official announcement. For now, they can only hope that a new era under Pochettino will bring about positive changes and lead to greater success for American soccer.
