I am absolutely LOVING what USMNT is doing right now!
Mauricio Pochettino … yes, that Mauricio Pochettino … has emerged as a candidate for the United States men’s national team’s vacant managerial position, according to a report from Olé. (RELATED: Gareth Southgate Steps Down As England Manager, Rumored To Be Candidate For US Soccer Gig)
Back in May, the Argentine parted ways from Chelsea (I’m still getting over that as a Blues fan) in a mutual decision after just one campaign as the boss. And yeah, the season was a bit of a struggle for Chelsea, but despite that, the exit was still a bit shocking, especially considering how the Blues got things together at the end of the campaign that bumped them up to a sixth-place finish.
Pochettino’s managing career began in Spain when he was given the keys to Espanyol. He ultimately relocated to the English Premier League, becoming the skipper of Southampton and then ultimately Tottenham Hotspur. With the Spurs in particular, he led them to the 2019 Champions League final.

Now Mauricio Pochettino?!
USMNT is doing absolutely perfecto right now. And if we’re talking about my favorite options, I’ll take Klopp or Pochettino, and De La Fuente as a third option.
