All eyes on Mauricio Pochettino as we await his decision on his future with U.S. Soccer.
Mauricio Pochettino accepted responsibility for the USMNT’s 4–1 World Cup destruction by Belgium, basically admitting the team collectively overslept their alarm.
After a tournament of legal drama and Donald Trump-driven referee beefs, Poch’s tactical masterplan for the Round of 16 apparently evaporated into “just wasn’t our day.”
He’s currently stuck in an awkward phase: surviving a 4–1 World Cup thrashing only to sit through mandatory chats about the future. While U.S. Soccer schedules polite talks to figure out what happened, there seems to be an inkling that he just really misses the daily European club grind.
Mauricio Pochettino miss the daily grind of club soccer
Mauricio Pochettino‘s future is up in the air now, as he’s technically no longer the USMNT manager with them now out of the competition.
His original contract was set to expire after the World Cup, and there have been no indications about what will be next for the former Tottenham Hotspur man.
English reporter Peter Rutzler has done a piece on the future of Pochettino, and it seems to have muddied the waters even more.
It states that those that know Pochettino speak of how he has missed the day-to-day dynamic of club football, which follows on from his comments made at the tournament.
Spending three uninterrupted weeks with his players ahead of the tournament allowed him to conduct daily training sessions, a welcome departure from the rushed nature of international breaks.
Speaking only last month, he admitted the extended time finally made him and his staff feel like true coaches again.
However, it is believed that there is a lack of opportunities right now at club level and in Europe.
