I think, don’t worry.
“If something has happened, you will surely see, but we cannot talk about this type of thing, because I think that today, it’s not real. It’s not realistic. And look where I am, where we are. And the thing is, the answer is so clear, right? But we are talking about it because it’s my club, like Newells or Espanyol.”
Pochettino signed a two-year contract with the United States national male team in September. He should lead the USMNT during the FIFA World Cup 2026, which will be co-organized by the United States, Canada and Mexico.
