Mauricio Pochettino was appointed the new US men’s national soccer team coach yesterday. He has replaced Gregg Berhalter as the team prepares to host the 2026 World Cup.

The 52-year-old Argentine, who has coached at Tottenham, Chelsea, PSG, and others, becomes the 10th US coach in 14 years and the first foreign-born leader since Jurgen Klinsmann.

He will debut in friendlies against Panama and Mexico before November’s CONCACAF Nations League quarterfinals.
