Pep Guardiola could be the big name who takes over as head coach of the United States men’s national team. The U.S. Soccer Federation has placed the Spanish coach in its sights as it prepares for a possible change on the national team bench.
According to reports from The Athletic, Guardiola leads the list of possible candidates to succeed Mauricio Pochettino, whose departure from the U.S. job has recently been rumored. The Argentine is linked with a possible move to Manchester United, which has raised questions about his future at the helm of the American national team.
Federation officials aim to find a coach with a big name and extensive international experience, while Guardiola is seen as one of the options that could give the American project a new dimension.
The Spaniard has built an extraordinary career on the benches of Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Manchester City, winning numerous trophies and becoming one of the most highly regarded coaches in world football. However, for now this is a lead reported by the media rather than a concrete agreement.
