According to the source, Pochettino has agreed to become the new head coach of the U.S. national team and will prepare the team for the home World Cup 2026.

Interestingly, for the Argentine specialist it will be the first experience of working with the national team, because previously Pochettino coached only at the club level - "Southampton", "Tottenham", PSG, "Chelsea".

Recall, the next World Cup will be held in the United States, Canada and Mexico from June 11 to July 19, 2026.
