Mauricio Pochettino took the United States to the round of 16 of “their” World Cup. Exited by Belgium (4-1), the USA team had a rather decent competition with three victories in five matches, but hoped to at least reach the quarter-finals. There was also the controversy surrounding the suspension finally overturned by Folarin Balogun thanks to the help of Donald Trump and FIFA which tainted the team. Linked until 2030 with the American federation, the coach intends to honor his contract but for the future, he is making the Premier League his priority.

I have ambitionsaid the Argentinian to Sky Sports. My current dream is to spend four years in the United States, but after that, why not? We are still young, and I think my goal has always been to come back: to participate in the Premier League and build a project with the possibility of winning. I love football here. Having this chance again is one of my wishes and I hope it comes true », Continues the former Tottenham and Chelsea manager. He also admits to having been contacted by clubs after the World Cup, without following up.
