Are the USMNT and Mauricio Pochettino Headed For A $10 Million Breakup?
Pochettino could take over flailing Manchester United.
Mauricio Pochettino, the highly regarded U.S. men's national team coach, may soon be leaving his current position. Reports suggest he could be joining Manchester United, currently in the relegation zone. U.S. Soccer agreed to a $10 million release clause in Pochettino's contract, which could make a transfer to England costly. The Argentine's previous stints at Tottenham Hotspur, Paris Saint-Germain, and Chelsea have been marked by notable achievements, including a Champions League final appearance and two French titles.
However, his tenure with the U.S. national team has not been as successful, with a disappointing exit in the 2022 World Cup. Pochettino has expressed a desire to return to the Premier League, where he believes a Premier League title and a long-term project would be within reach. Manchester United, currently under discussion for Carrick's future, is expected to make a decision about his coaching position soon.
