Pochettino set to Coach U.S. men’s football team

Date:

Former Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino is set to become the new coach of the United States men’s national team, according to an ESPN report. The Argentine, who has been without a managerial role since leaving Chelsea in May after one season, will lead the team into the 2026 World Cup, which will be co-hosted by the U.S., Mexico, and Canada.

ESPN’s source indicates that the 52-year-old Pochettino is expected to assume his role in time for the U.S. team’s match against Canada on September 7 in Kansas City, Kansas.

The U.S. men’s team have been without a coach since Gregg Berhalter was fired in July, 10 months into his second term as head coach, following a humiliating early exit on home soil at the Copa America.

Pochettino had joined Chelsea ahead of the 2023-24 campaign when he replaced interim manager Frank Lampard as the club’s new owners looked to freshen things up after a 12th -place finish the previous season.

He had signed a two-year contract, with the club having the option of a further year, but left the west London side after a turbulent campaign despite a late rally that saw them finish sixth to secure European football for next season.
