Pochettino has been appointed as the head coach of the United States national team

Argentinian coach Mauricio Pochettino has been appointed as the new head coach of the United States national team.

Pochettino replaces Gregg Berhalter, who was dismissed in the summer following the team's failure to advance from the group stage at the Copa America.

The 52-year-old Pochettino will prepare the U.S. team for the upcoming home World Cup in 2026.

In the previous season, he managed Chelsea, guiding the club to a sixth-place finish in the English Premier League (EPL) and securing qualification for the UEFA Europa Conference League. Pochettino departed the English club in May.
