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. He began his coaching career with Espanyol in La Liga before moving to the Premier League, where he made a significant impact with Southampton and later with Tottenham Hotspur. 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's national team, in front of fans as passionate as the players, è something I couldn't pass up” these, instead, are Mauricio Pochettino's first statements.

Davis Cup, not just Jannik Sinner: Lorenzo Musetti is ready
The bronze medal at the Olympics and the semifinals at Wimbledon have charged her up
This is it. Italy è is ready to start on the road to another possible dream, which is to win the Davis Cup again. The first obstacle è represented by the hostile Argentina (absolutely not to be underestimated). The Azzurri are betting, of course, on world No. 1 Sinner but there’è great confidence also in Musetti who arrived in Malaga in great form.
The blue number 2 è has been the protagonist of a heavenly season. The bronze at the Olympics and the semifinals at Wimbledon have charged him up. Now he è ready to be an absolute protagonist in the Davis Cup: “I arrive with a different maturity at all levels”, his clear words to Gazzetta dello Sport.
“I’m ready to take more responsibility and have a more central, more important part than 12 months ago. There will be a lot of excitement, a lot of adrenaline, and I have a lot of desire to experience the competition”, the commentary of Musetti himself, who arrived in Malaga in excellent physical condition, having had some time to rest after Paris-Bercy.
Clearly, with such a motivated Musetti, è much can be expected from Italy. Sinner è an absolute guarantee but, to make it all the way, the help of all the members of the blue team led by captain Volandri is needed. There’s a strong desire to accomplish another feat and return to celebrate, all together.

NBA, Milwaukee snaps up Giannis Antetokounmpo
Well Golden State, black crisis for Philadelphia
So many contests in the NBA night. With its back against the wall, Milwaukee finds the strength to fight back and take home a crucial victory in the match with Chicago (122-106 the final). Race dominated by Antetokounmpo who finished with an impressive 41 points on the scoreboard, including 25 in a surreal third period, with also eight assists and nine rebounds.
Thanks to this success, the Bucks record rises to six wins and nine losses. After losing the unbeaten streak to Boston, Cleveland returned to success: 128-100 over New Orleans. Excellent performance by Jerome (29 points). The record of the Cavs è the best in the NBA with 16 wins and only one loss (suffered, precisely, against the Celtics).
Most delicate moment for Philadelphia, which continues to sink. The 76ers also surrendered in Memphis (117-111 the final), collecting their 12th defeat of the season (only two wins). A strong showing by Embiid (35 points and 11 rebounds) wasn’t enough to bring a smile back to the interior of a team in total crisis.
As for the other games, OKC folds Portland (109-99) while Houston gets rid of Indiana (130-113) rather easily. New York wins the challenge with Phoenix (138-122) while Golden State prevails against Atlanta: 120-97 the final for the Warriors with 23 points by Curry. Nice success, finally, of the LA Clippers against Orlando (104-93).

GP Las Vegas, Carlos Sainz has hope for constructors’ title
Ferrari è currently second at -36 from McLaren
.
The Las Vegas GP takes the stage. A new opportunity, for Ferrari, to try to get even closer to McLaren, currently leader in the constructors’ standings with 593 points, 36 more than the Cavallino. The circuit would seem to favor the Rossa, although Sainz points out an important detail.
“Ferrari competitive? Looking at the track I would say sì, Ferrari should be competitive or at least should be able to fight but when we see that tire temperatures rise, then I would say no”, the clear words of Sainz reported by Marca.
The Cavallino driver knows that in order to take home the Constructors’ World Championship title, he needs “help” from McLaren: “I think we are close. But at the same time, we also need McLaren to make some mistakes, becauseé, if they don’t make any mistakes from here to the end, in case we have to win all the time and we and they come second in every race, I think McLaren will probably still be able to keep the title”.
Sainz, in addition to trying to win another GP before ending his adventure with the Cavallino, wants to try to help the team win the constructors world championship: “I would like to win the championship for Ferrari this year. And sì, I think it would be a great way to end the season”.
