US targets Guardiola as Pochettino reaches full agreement with Man Utd

The United States national team have reportedly identified Pep Guardiola as their preferred candidate to take charge, following Mauricio Pochettino’s expected move to Manchester United.

According to The Athletic, Pochettino has reached a full agreement with Manchester United to become the club’s next manager.

The former Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea boss is expected to be officially announced in the coming days, although the club has yet to make the appointment official.

Despite the agreement, Pochettino is still expected to remain in charge of the United States national team for their upcoming Nations League matches against Haiti.

However, the US Football Federation has already begun considering potential replacements and has placed Guardiola at the top of its list.

The federation’s interest in the Manchester City manager comes as it looks to plan for the team’s future following Pochettino’s expected departure.
