The U.S. Men’s National Soccer team coach is expected to be a role that is going to be heavily discussed in the coming days, and Pep Guardiola is expected to be a part of it, as reports suggest that he is a top target for the position.

According to The Athletic, Guardiola will only be considered a top target if Mauricio Pochettino leaves to join Manchester United. The English club has him as its top target, and a deal to bring the Argentine to Old Trafford is expected to be finalised soon.

This has prompted the federation to look for candidates to replace him, and they have one of the biggest managerial names in soccer history, Guardiola, as one of their candidates.

The deal to get the six-time Premier League-winning coach to become the national coach of the U.S. Men’s soccer team is not expected to be easy, according to The Athletic.

Fans react to Pep Guardiola being one of the top contenders for the U.S. National soccer coach role

The U.S. National team made a lot of noise in this year’s World Cup, as they made it to the Round of 16, but were defeated 4-1 by Belgium there.

Pochettino has helped improve the team a lot, but with a return to England in the works, he could be on the move, but it will have some financial implications.

Fans who were disappointed about losing a coach like Pochettino will be instantly happy about the news of who the federation is looking to replace the Argentine with.

“Give him a blank cheque and the White House whatever he wants get it done if he wants Florida give him the state just make it happen,” said one overly excited fan.

Another added: “Man United paying U.S. Soccer $10m to put it toward hiring Pep Guardiola would be the greatest piece of business in federation history.”

Someone also expressed: “A blank cheque and real estate still won’t be enough.”

“Shooting for the stars with this one,” a fan stated. “Him and Poch are good friends; Poch’s last gift to America must be convincing his friend to come, coach. Easy job with zero pressure and lots of money,” another fan explained.
