Pep Guardiola touted as Mauricio Pochettino’s replacement as USMNT boss nears Man Utd move
Former Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola could return to coaching sooner than expected, with the U.S. Men's National Team potentially soon set to kick off a search for Mauricio Pochettino's replacement
U.S. Soccer is exploring the possibility of hiring former Manchester United manager Pep Guardiola to replace Mauricio Pochettino, reports suggest. Michael Carrick is reportedly set to leave United after a disappointing start to the season, with Carrick's departure triggering discussions between U.S. Soccer and Manchester United about Guardiola's potential involvement.
Despite Guardiola's intention to take a break and focus on his personal well-being, his comments about the U.S. national team indicate he may be open to the opportunity, given the country's rich sporting culture and the presence of star talents such as Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie, and Malik Tillman.
