The U.S. men’s national team may have its new head coach.
According to journalist Iván Kasanzew, U.S. Soccer and Mauricio Pochettino have reached an agreement for the Argentine to become the new coach of the USMNT.
That report was later corroborated by several others, including ESPN, GIVEMESPORT and The Athletic.
The hire would be a massive statement ahead of the 2026 World Cup, with Pochettino having developed a reputation as one of the world’s top club coaches during his time at Tottenham, Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea.
Pochettino, 52, is currently a free agent after leaving Chelsea by mutual consent in May.
Last week, The Athletic reported that Pochettino was emerging as the favorite for the USMNT head coaching position, which has been vacant since Gregg Berhalter was sacked last month.
U.S. Soccer sporting director Matt Crocker has worked with Pochettino before, with the Welshman serving as Southampton’s academy manager in 2013 when Pochettino was hired as head coach.
Pochettino has never managed in the international game before, but told Sky Sports in 2022 that he would be open to the idea.

American soccer changed dramatically last summer when Lionel Messi, a World Cup and Champions League winner, made his stateside debut with Inter Miami in the Leagues Cup. Messi's arrival galvanized Miami and helped it win the 2023 Leagues Cup trophy before narrowly missing out on the MLS Cup playoffs a few months later.

When I studied Anthropology in college, I learned that teeth have been indicators of economic status just about forever. Archaeologists look at the teeth in ancient skeletons and know who the rich were based on their tooth decay. During the Renaissance period, it became fashionable for women to blacken their teeth to look like they were better off than they were, because the royals and aristocrats, who could afford sugar and sweets, had more rotten and missing teeth than the poor.
