Southgate in line to replace Pochettino as United States coach

The United States Soccer Federation has begun searching for a new coach for its national team after the departure of Maurício Pochettino, who has officially taken over as manager of Manchester United, succeeding Michael Carrick, according to TEAMtalk.

The report clarified that Pep Guardiola, the former manager of Manchester City, is at the top of the list of candidates, as convincing him to take on the role is the preferred option for officials of the United States.

The list also includes Roberto Martínez, the former coach of Belgium and Portugal, who is believed to be interested in the position, alongside Eddie Howe, the former manager of Newcastle.

The same source added that Gareth Southgate, the former manager of England, has been mentioned during discussions, but he is not showing much interest in taking over the United States national team at this time.

Gareth Southgate is set to leave his role as England manager in 2024 after leading the national team to consecutive finals in the European Championship. It is believed that the Football Association wishes to bring him back into the organization to work alongside Dan Ashworth, the FA's director of football.
