Pochettino's USMNT Blueprint Powers 2026 World Cup Push
Mauricio Pochettino, 54, has led the United States men’s national team since August 2024, guiding a co-host to a group win at the 2026 World Cup and toward a Round of 32 clash with Bosnia and Herzegovina; a former PSG, Chelsea and Tottenham boss (reaching the 2019 CL final), he is the USMNT’s first national-team coach, a former Argentina defender, and he’s reportedly earning about $6.04 million in base salary—making him the third-highest-paid international coach, funded in part by Ken Griffin; his USMNT record stands 17-1-11 with a 2-0 debut win vs Panama; he hails from Murphy, Argentina.
