U.S. Soccer called off a scheduled press conference on Wednesday as speculation intensifies that former Chelsea and Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino is in advanced talks to take over the U.S. men's national team. The federation did not immediately explain the cancellation, but multiple reports link the decision to ongoing negotiations with Pochettino's representatives.
The Argentine coach has been without a club since departing Chelsea in May 2024 and is widely viewed as the leading candidate for the vacant position. U.S. Soccer has not officially commented on the rumors, and a new date for the press conference has not been announced.
