U.S. men’s national team head coach Mauricio Pochettino believes that the group could be the best in the world in the next five to ten years, providing major confidence as the 2026 World Cup approaches.
Pochettino stated, “In five or 10 years, for sure we can be No. 1 in the world. It could be.”
He highlighted U.S. Soccer’s ambitious project to build a $200 million training center in Atlanta, which is set to open in 2026 ahead of the tournament, describing it as the foundation for the sport’s future in the nation.
