Mauricio Pochettino has emerged as a leading candidate to coach the U.S. men's national team, multiple sources with knowledge of the talks between the former Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Tottenham manager and U.S. Soccer confirmed to FOX Sports on Thursday. The Athletic's Paul Tenorio was the first to report the news.
On Sunday, after several German outlets reported that Matarazzo had been offered the job, a source told FOX Sports that the USSF was hoping to finalize a deal with the New Jersey native as early as this week. Subsequent reports indicated that Matarazzo had decided to stay with the Bundesliga club instead, which he later confirmed himself. That apparently led Crocker back to Pochettino, who he briefly overlapped with while running Southampton's youth academy.
