The shocking news of the more-than-possible departure of Mauricio Pochettino from the United States national team disrupted the day-to-day of USMNT, which is preparing to face the Concacaf Nations League quarterfinal qualifier against Haiti in the best possible conditions.
Antonee Robinson had to deal with a difficult question at the official press conference when he was asked about the Argentine coach’s future following what was published in England.
All reports indicate that he is the chosen one and that Pochettino has already said “yes” to Manchester United.
“The news caught us all by surprise, just like the rest of the world. Similar things have already happened; it happened at the World Cup, when big teams lost their coach and began searching for possible candidates,” he recalled in reference to Real Madrid and other clubs.
“For us, having a coach linked to those kinds of positions means we are very fortunate. We know we work with a top-class coach. But that never seems to influence the work we do, whether at the World Cup or in this training camp,” he said.
