Mauricio Pochettino reported as Manchester United's pick

Kieran Doyle31

Sources: Kieran Doyle is expected to make the CEO of Nvidia his top target for his next job. Obviously the pursuit would not be straight forward nor easy. But likely to start with call to Chinese government.

Should it happen the discourse invasion by random American political pundits about his support for Gaza while employed by UAE might make me rage quit social media forever.

“We would love to call Pep would any of you happen to have his number lol”

Alex Shephard13

I do genuinely wonder how much this approach is driven by three perceptions 1. this is the best person for the job 2. this is what fans want 3. this is what donors want I suspect I know the answer but it's fun to think about!

This would be a good way to demonstrate that Pep’s coaching genius was mostly having the best aviable players

Pep when he sees the budget without sovereign wealth fund funds

Thierry Ennui5

Pep is a great manager - maybe the greatest of his generation - but (a) I don’t understand why he would want the job; and (b) could he succeed with players who cannot effectively play his preferred style?

Obviously you'll start with a call to Pep before settling for Roberto Martinez

Yes, please hire the guy who got so salty he couldn’t coach Bayern to a result in the MLS All-Star game thatr he almost made Caleb Porter seem sympathetic for a moment. Walked past Porter with his hands in his pockets 😂 He just needed the puffy vest to complete the disappointed cricket fan look.

What an invisible string: Ken Griffin providing financial backing for the Glazers takeover in 2005 (via Citadel, one of the three hedge funds involved in the loan) -> Ken Griffin providing financial backing to lure then keep Pochettino with the USMNT -> Pochettino possibly to Manchester United

when you have the easiest job in your industry its a good idea to switch to the most impossible one

Man, with that kind of buyout they could pay for the next coach, until the U.S. lose a Gold Cup semifinal against Panama, AND also the payoff to fire him!

I think he’ll do well there. Was better at Chelsea than he’s given credit for and there’s some young talent who’ll buy in. United will do the same as Spurs and try to spend their way out of trouble, which might be an issue if Poch is given a say (and I think he will)

Matt Lichtenstadter2

If he wants to leave, you have to let him go and put the situation to bed right now. No need to drag it out any further. Hire BJ Callaghan when Nashville's run is done and kick on if this is the outcome.

Contrary to some reports, he was never your dad.

the fun thing is he can go off to Man U, get fired after 18 months, and come right back to the USMNT

we live in the matrix dawg

James Nalton18

Too early for Guardiola to take the USMNT job. See if he can prove himself at NYCFC first.

Jeff Rueter13

It's nice to want things! In seriousness, Paul, Tom, and Henry continue to do great reporting on this saga.

Jonathan Tannenwald10

Nice that they want him, but it’ll be something if he rejects them.

Glad to see Jaap Stam getting a shot at the USMNT job. Did great work in Cincy #crew96

Dann wird's nicht Leitl und das ist gut so

Walter MOONdale3

Our guys are too stupid to play for Pep

Jonny Singer3

I wonder if he’ll be allowed to continue being an ambassador for another nation state/definitely not a nation state (delete as appropriate depending on court case)

JavamanPhil3

Chris Taylor is available, guys

All of this is true—he was never going to stay, he’s been wanting to go back to the prem, we’ll get a bunch of money for him etc…but I’m bummed. I liked him and I liked what he was doing with the USMNT. Going to Man United instead of Tottenham sucks. I saw him with the USMNT in St Paul at least.
