Mauricio Pochettino new US coach

After his experiences with Tottenham, Chelsea and PSG, Mauricio Pochettino’s coaching career will continue on the bench of a national team. The Argentine technician è has been officially announced as the moving Technical Commissioner of the United States of America.

“The U.S. Soccer Federation has named Mauricio Pochettino as the new coach of the U.S. men’s national team. Pochettino, 52, an experienced and highly respected coach, has had successful experiences with several top European clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur, Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea. Known for building teams with dynamic playing styles, he will now takeà the helm of the U.S. national team, bringing his vast experience and tactical acumen to guide the team to the 2026 FIFA World Cup at home.

As part of the transition process, Crocker appointed Mikey Varas as interim head coach for the matches against Canada last Saturday and against New Zealand. Varas, an observer of the USMNT’s opponents during the 2022 FIFA World Cup and an assistant since 2023, è was originally hired as head coach of the U-20 MNT in November 2021 and coached the U-20 MNT to the top of their group at the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Argentina.

Pochettino brings with him a wealth of experience gained in Europe.

At Spurs, he led the team to their first UEFA Champions League final in 2019 and consistently achieved top-four finishes in the Premier League. After his successful stint in England, Pochettino took the reins at Paris Saint-Germain, where he won the Ligue 1 title, the Coupe de France and the Trophée des Champions, also leading the team to the UEFA Champions League semifinals.

In addition to his successes on the pitch, Pochettino è known for his ability to manage and motivate high-profile players and his dedication to developing young talent. Many players who have worked under him have praised his ability to nurture their growth and maximize their potential. This focus on youth development aligns well with US Soccer’s long-term strategy to build a solid pipeline of talent for the national team. Pochettino’s appointment è supported in large part by a philanthropic gift to leadership from Kenneth C. Griffin, founder and CEO of Citadel and founder of Griffin Catalyst. Additional support è was provided by Scott Goodwin, co-founder and managing partner of Diameter, and several business partners.

Born in Murphy, Argentina, Pochettino had a brilliant playing career as a central defender, earning 20 appearances with the Argentine national team. He has played for clubs such as Newell’s Old Boys, Espanyol, Paris Saint-Germain and Bordeaux. Pochettino è holds a UEFA Pro license and is fluent in Spanish, French and English. He will work closely with US Soccer staff to ensure a smooth transition and lay the foundation for success in upcoming competitions” this is the lengthy statement issued by the US Soccer Federation.

“The decision to join US Soccer was not just about soccer for me; it was about the journey that this team and this country are on. The energy, the passion and the hunger to accomplish something truly historic here: these are the things that inspired me. The opportunity’to lead the U.S. men&#39s national team, in front of fans as passionate as the players, è something I couldn&#39t pass up” these, instead, are Mauricio Pochettino&#39s first statements.

Carlos Sainz returns on farewell to Ferrari and è candid about Lewis Hamilton

During an interview given to the microphones of the Spanish newspaper “As”, Carlos Sainz è returned to talk about his farewell to Ferrari to make way for seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton starting in 2025.

“I have no negative words toward Ferrari, and I don&#39t think they have any negative feelings toward me either. It’s a relationship that hasn’t been broken because we’re not happy with each other, but because of a circumstantial issue. I remain convinced that if Hamilton had not wanted to end his career at Ferrari, I would have renewed. To a seven-time world champion, però è impossible to say no and I understand the team&#39s choice to confirm Charles and not me” began the Spanish driver.

“When I arrived at Ferrari, the team was going through a very difficult time. In 2020 they were far behind the best. I am very proud of the progress this team has made thanks in part to my work. These have been seasons that have allowed me to win my first F1 races, get my first pole positions and win several podiums. I am happy to have come to a historic team and to have had the pleasure of driving Ferrari over these years” continued the’former McLaren.

“Charles è one of the fastest drivers I have ever faced, especially on a dry lap. Between us the difference è always been minimal. The only problems came from always going to the track together, one after the other, but that è was the advantage of Ferrari with a very balanced pair of drivers” added the Spanish number 55.

“My next adventure will be at Williams, where I will try to do something similar to what I did in Ferrari and McLaren. I want to help the team improve moving forward. I have the experience and the good energy to help them progress. I have been good in the past and my next goal è to bring the stable to the top 10. If we do well in the next two years, I would like to be able to bet on Williams again in the future” concluded Carlos Sainz.

“Volunteers are crucial to the Olympics. Without them such an event would not be economically sustainable. Sinner will be the No. 1 volunteer in Milan-Cortina. It’s really a lot of stuff” added Giovanni Malagò.
