THE US men’s national team could make a push to appoint Pep Guardiola to replace Mauricio Pochettino as head coach, according to reports.
Pochettino is currently being lined up to replace Michael Carrick at Manchester United.
He allegedly reached a verbal agreement with United on Wednesday and could finalise the move in the coming days, with Carrick expected to be informed of his axing by the end of the week.
That means the former Tottenham boss will exit his role as US head coach, potentially after two upcoming fixtures against Haiti.
The Athletic now reports that USMNT chiefs are considering his potential successor – with Guardiola expected to be a “top” target.
Guardiola has allegedly been discussed internally across multiple levels of the hiring process.
