The Argentine, who has won 21 of his 35 matches as USMNT boss, will also bring several members of his backroom staff with him to Carrington. Pochettino will address the media at the US training base near Atlanta on Friday, 2.15pm (UK time), before the first leg of the Haiti match at 9.30pm on Saturday.",
