It speaks to the global respect that Mauricio Pochettino has earned over the course of his 15-year head coaching career that his first match in charge of the United States men's national team — a debut Pochettino won when the Americans beat Panama last weekend — was, because of his mere presence on the sideline, the must-see contest of this month's two-friendly slate.
Historically two of the biggest teams in the Concacaf region, the United States and Mexico have failed to impress in recent times. In efforts to breathe new life into their programs following their underwhelming 2024 Copa América campaigns, both countries made changes to their coaching staffs, with the U.S. hiring Mauricio Pochettino and Mexico bringing back Javier Aguirre for a third spell in charge of El Tri.
AUSTIN, Texas — Throughout Mauricio Pochettino's first month or so in charge of the U.S. men's national team, he's talked repeatedly about what he sees as his most important mandate.
The United States will play an exhibition against Mexico on Oct. 15 at Guadalajara in what could be the second match for Mauricio Pochettino, who is negotiating to become the Americans' coach.
Mexico coach Jaime «Jimmy» Lozano is on the cusp of departing the national team, with Javier Aguirre lined up as his likely replacement, sources told ESPN Mexico.
Mexico entered its Copa América contest against Venezuela in Los Angeles on Wednesday having never lost a match against that opponent in this tournament. El Tri out-shot Venezuela 17 (with six shots on goal) to 10 (with two shots on goal). Yet when the final whistle sounded, the scoreboard read Venezuela 1, Mexico 0, with the only goal coming via Salomon Rondón's penalty kick in the 57th minute.
We're finally here: The U.S. men's national team will play its first real competitive matches since the loss to the Netherlands in the round of 16 of the 2022 World Cup — and it's the USMNT's last real competitive matches before the group stages of the 2026 World Cup.
Gerardo Arteaga scored from the edge of the penalty area in the 69th minute, and Mexico beat Jamaica 1-0 on Saturday night in its Copa América opener.
