After years spent in club football, Mauricio Pochettino recently took the reins of the United States selection. And he is now enjoying his daily life far from the XXL pressure of England or Paris.
When joining PSG in 2021, Mauricio Pochettino was eagerly awaited by fans and observers of the capital club. It must be said that the Argentinian had done a very good job in England with Southampton and then Tottenham. But in Paris, nothing really went as planned for Pochettino. The South American technician had difficulty imposing his mark on the stars of Paris Saint-Germain. In the end, the former defender only spent 18 months with the Ile-de-France residents, for a disappointing record. And this experience at PSG still traumatizes him.
Pochettino will never forget his time at PSG
During an interview with the South American media The NationPochettino in fact said: “You have to try, that’s why you have to get out of your comfort zone. I believe we need to analyze the players' moments, not their names, but the circumstances and contexts. PSG was an incredible experience… difficult, tough, where you really discover who you are, you really temper your sporting character. Behind an experience like that, everything becomes a little more relative, you start to understand things that, perhaps, you didn't understand before when you were at Southampton, Espanyol or Tottenham. Clubs like PSG give things a different meaning. And it gives you the experience and knowledge to then decide what you like”. Today coach of the United States, Mauricio Pochettino will also not lack pressure. Especially since the American selection wants to be ready for the 2026 World Cup, which it will co-organize with Mexico and Canada.
