'Do you meet Son Heung-min as an enemy?' Gisa Pochettino 'North Korea-China World Cup Host Country' U.S. National Team Approaches Appointment
The U.S., the host country of the World Cup, is close to appointing a big leader. The main character is former Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino, who was Son Heung-min's gift. Multiple media reported on the 15th (Korea time) that `Pochettino will be appointed as the next coach of the U.S. national team.' Pochettino reportedly agreed with the U.S. Soccer Association to lead the U.S. national team in the 2026 North-China World Cup. Looking at the atmosphere alone, it seems that only the official announcement is left.

The American Football Association replaced coach Greg Buckholter last month. It was due to poor performance in Copa America. The U.S., which was the host country, was in Group C along with Uruguay, Panama and Bolivia, but received a shocking report card of elimination from the group stage. Uruguay aside, losing to Panama and Bolivia was shocking.



The American Football Association has sought a new coach after Buckhalter's replacement. As it is a host play, I have contacted masters who can perform well. Various coaches are on the list, including a connection with former Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp, who is not a Kloppweight. With Canada coach Jesse March and Hoffenheim coach Pellegrino Mataracho, the U.S. choice was Pochettino.

Coach Pochettino has recently slowed down, but he is one of the masterpieces Europe is paying attention to. Pochettino, who showed promise at Espanyol and Southampton, was in full bloom at Tottenham. He was recognized for his leadership by leading Tottenham for five years and six months from May 2014 to November 2019. Son Heung-min, Harry Kane, Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen have attracted attention for their attractive offensive football with the so-called DESK line at the forefront. In the 2018-2019 season, he made a strong impression by leading Tottenham to the European Champions League final for the first time ever.



But after that it was downhill. In January 2021, he became the head coach of Paris Saint-Germain. He led his team to a French Ligue 1 championship in his first season, but he had to step down after failing to win the European Champions League. In the summer of 2023, he returned to the England stage after taking over as Chelsea manager, but also fell short of expectations.

The U.S. approached Pochettino, who is currently a wild man, and Pochettino, who needs a career rebound, also held the U.S. hand. It is said to be the best card in terms of name value, possibility, and ability to show so far. Coach Pochettino is a strong pressure and aggressive style, which is said to match the composition of the U.S. national team players.

The Athletic said that if the contract is finalized, Pochettino will become the most notable (U.S. national team) coach since Jurgen Klinsmann. Coach Klinsmann, who played for the German national team and Bayern Munich, led the U.S. national team for five years from 2011. He won the Gold Cup in 2013 and advanced to the round of 16 at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, but was shaken by his insincere attitude and blind preference for overseas players and eventually resigned in disgrace. Coach Klinsmann was appointed to the Korean national team last year and replaced with all sorts of rumors. He is ahead of Pochettino as a player, but he is no match for Pochettino as a leader.

Pochettino has a weakness that he has no experience as a national team coach. But despite the recent slump, the ability is certain. In particular, Son Heung-min is receiving great attention in that he can meet as an enemy on the international stage.
