The USMNT brought in Mauricio Pochettino with the goal of taking the United States Men’s National Team to the next level at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, but with less than 100 days before the World Cup, rumors are emerging that could cause the Argentine coach to lose focus.
Competition for Real Madrid
In recent hours, the Argentine coach’s name was one of those appearing on the list of options to replace lvaro Arbeloa at Real Madrid. But now the Spanish giants face competition.
At Tottenham Hotspur, fans are clamoring for the return of the former Spurs coach, who knows the club very well and who arrives at a time when the Premier League side is not going through its best moment.
In short, it is a team where Pochettino would have plenty of credit and could arrive just in time to replace Igor Tudor, especially knowing that his competition for the Real Madrid manager job includes big names like Jrgen Klopp or Massimiliano Allegri.
According to the English press, Pochettino would not be the only name being considered for a return to the Premier League. Roberto De Zerbi, the coach who made Brighton & Hove Albion shine in recent Premier League seasons, is also emerging as a possible option.
