The United States Soccer Federation is inching closer to officially hiring Mauricio Pochettino to coach the men's national team.

More than three weeks after the British press reported that Pochettino had agreed to take over the USMNT ahead of the 2026 World Cup co-hosted on American soil, the deal for the former Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Tottenham manager appears close to crossing the finish line, multiple sources told FOX Sports.

Several reports last week said that US soccer officials had flown to Spain to finalize Pochettino's contract and formally announce the appointment.

That trip was canceled at the 11th hour, multiple sources said, without providing further details. But while the deal isn't done yet, it's expected to be completed in the coming days, sources said.
