Pochettino leads US squad now

Mauricio Pochettino will guide the US men's national team through the remainder of the current international window. He faces Haiti on Saturday and again on Tuesday in Miami and Cincinnati for the Concacaf Nations League quarter-finals. The Argentinian has been leading players at training facilities outside Atlanta this week while negotiations concluded Thursday.

United finalize deal with Pochettino

Manchester United confirmed Pochettino as their new head coach after agreeing to a buyout clause of $10m. The club will pay millions more to bring his assistant coaching staff along with him from the national team role. United CEO Omar Berrada informed US Soccer they were willing to trigger the release payment on Wednesday.

Ten Hag replaced by Pochettino

Pochettino takes over from Michael Carrick who was sacked just 15 games into his two-year contract in May. The Argentine replaces a manager whose team sits 18th in the table with only one league win all season. United believe Pochettino offers high-intensity attacking football and experience working with big clubs like Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain.

Hayes joins US search process

While US Soccer has not yet identified a successor to Pochettino, it stated that Emma Hayes will assist in leading the search. Federation leadership including CEO JT Batson and COO Dan Helfrich are also involved in finding a successor. Steve Cherundolo is scheduled to lead the USMNT's December camp following this international break period.
