How Manchester United would be able to get Mauricio Pochettino to leave USMNT contract early
It could be a short second cycle for the USMNT coach.
The United States Soccer Federation made a bold decision this summer to keep USMNT head coach Mauricio Pochettino on board for another World Cup cycle. However, recent reports from England suggest that his time with the USMNT may be limited. Pochettino guided the USMNT to a remarkable World Cup showing in the United States before being eliminated in the Round of 16 by Belgium. Despite this disappointing conclusion, the USSF desired to allow Pochettino to execute his vision for the program over a four-year span.
When Pochettino committed to remaining as USMNT coach, concerns arose that he might welcome any attractive Premier League opportunity. While he initially dismissed these worries, he did not explicitly deny them. According to ESPN, Manchester United's potential relegation after just 10 matches has reignited discussions about Pochettino's future with the team.
ESPN reports that Pochettino has indicated he could be open to returning to the Premier League with Manchester United, despite just signing a new long-term contract with the USMNT.
