US could ‘dominate’ football in next decade – Pochettino

  • US Men's National Team coach Mauricio Pochettino thinks the country has the potential to “dominate” football in the next decade.
  • The sport’s popularity is growing in the US and President Donald Trump recently asked if Pochettino’s team could win the upcoming World Cup.
  • Pochettino took up his position in the US in September 2024. His contract runs through to 2026, but he still hasn’t got a green card.
  • He says he would have considered the England manager position instead, but the timing didn’t align.
  • The Argentine says the season he spent at Chelsea laid the groundwork for his future success, and he hopes one day to return to Tottenham Hotspur.
