Mauricio Pochettino continues his preparations for the 2026 World Cup with the USMNT, as the team will soon have friendly matches in the next few months against elite national teams like Portugal and Belgium.
Pochettino became the USMNT head coach in 2024, and his goal is to lead the USMNT to success in the World Cup, which will be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Despite the focus being on the World Cup with the USMNT, Pochettino continues to be linked to managerial jobs with clubs, specifically with Premier League clubs.

The Former Spurs and Chelsea manager aims on winning the Premier League title. Pochettino didn't mention which club he will aim to win it for, but it leaves the door open to a return to the league.
Pochettino said, "Champions League and Premier League for me... I don't know how, but I'm going to achieve it [winning the Premier League title]. I don't know in which club... In which club, I don't know. I cannot tell you because I don't have a club, I don't own a club."
