Now that Mauricio Pochettino has finally officially been named the new coach of the United States men's national team, the hard work for the Argentine begins. The 2026 World Cup is less than two years away, and the former Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Tottenham Hotspur manager will have to hit the ground running — Pochettino will have just nine FIFA fixture windows to work with the USMNT before the main event arrives in the U.S., Canada and Mexico in 21 short months.
There is no opportunity for Pochettino to hoist a major trophy less than a dozen games into his international tenure, which is what his former Chelsea colleague Hayes achieved by winning Olympic gold with the U.S. women earlier this month at the Paris Games. But like Hayes, Pochettino's mere presence and his reputation as one of global soccer's elite coaches instantly transforms the men's program.
