The club has announced that it has reached an agreement with the US Soccer Federation to ensure that the Argentine manager and his staff are released from their duties with the US men’s national team once their commitments have ended (on Tuesday night they face Haiti in a CONCACAF Nations League fixture). “Pochettino has consistently achieved top-level results whilst managing in various leagues. He began his managerial career at Espanyol in 2009, before moving to Southampton and setting the Premier League points record in 2014.
