His new adventure is well underway. Having become coach of the United States football team, Mauricio Pochettino saw his players win 2-0 on Saturday against Panama. The former PSG coach is on mission until the 2026 World Cup, which the United States is organizing jointly with Canada and Mexico. Against the Panamanians, his players won thanks to goals from Yunus Musah (49), the AC Milan midfielder, and Ricardo Pepi (90+4), the PSV Eindhoven striker.
“It’s a very good feeling. It was a very, very difficult match for ussaid Pochettino. We are building something little by little. The target is 2026, but I think we are happy because we have been strong and we have had a very professional performance and we have been competitive. (But) it’s only the first step to improve“, underlined the 52-year-old technician.
His team will face a tougher away test on Tuesday, when they face rivals Mexico in Guadalajara. “El Tri” also recently changed bosses with the return of Javier Aguirre for a third mandate as coach.
