Christian Pulisic, the United States star player, has expressed his full support for the potential hiring of Mauricio Pochettino as the new coach for the US Men’s National Team (USMNT). Pulisic believes that it is the right time for a change in leadership and that the team needs to take another step forward in order to improve and achieve better results, especially as they prepare for the upcoming World Cup.
Pochettino’s Potential Appointment
According to reports from ESPN, Mauricio Pochettino, who has previously coached top clubs like Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, and Tottenham, has agreed to take over the coaching role for the USMNT. However, there are still some details that need to be ironed out, especially concerning Pochettino’s situation with his former club Chelsea. Despite this, sources indicate that there is a strong possibility of Pochettino leading the team in the upcoming matches.
Interim Coach
In the meantime, it has been reported that former U.S. under-20 coach Mikey Varas will be in charge of the team during the upcoming September international window, even if Pochettino is officially appointed before then. This transitional period will allow Pochettino to familiarize himself with the U.S. Soccer Federation and the American soccer landscape before fully taking on the coaching responsibilities.

Dest, who attended the Formula 1 Dutch Grand Prix over the weekend, emphasized Pochettino’s experience with top clubs and expressed his optimism about the positive impact that the new coach could have on the team. He believes that working under Pochettino will be a valuable experience for the players, especially as they aim for success in the 2026 World Cup.
With the United States set to co-host the next World Cup alongside Canada and Mexico, there is a sense of anticipation and hope among fans and players alike. The potential hiring of Mauricio Pochettino as the USMNT coach signifies a new chapter for the team, with the goal of achieving significant improvements and success in international competitions. As the team prepares for the upcoming matches and tournaments, there is a renewed sense of optimism and enthusiasm for what the future holds under Pochettino’s leadership.
