Mauricio Pochettino always planned to lead the USA men's national team (USMNT) into the 2026 World Cup, however his ambitions after that project have always been unclear.But now, following the dismissals of Ruben Amorim and Thomas Frank, it has once again opened the door to a Premier League return.Pochettino's time in charge at Tottenham Hotspur, spanning from 2014 to 2019, was a whirlwind.
