Pochettino is now instead set to lead the USA into the World Cup 2026 that is partly home soil that could help his side go further in the tournament than ever before.
The USA have been on the lookout for a new manager ever since they sacked Gregg Berhalter after their group-stage exit from a home Copa America in July which was a shock to many fans.
The 52-year-old has never managed a national team but has found success at club level including an unprecedented Champions League final appearance in 2019 with Tottenham and a Ligue 1 title with Paris Saint-Germain.
