Mauricio Pochettino made a winning start to his reign as coach of the United States with AC Milan’s Yunus Musah on target in a 2-0 win over Panama on Saturday.
Argentine Pochettino, the former Tottenham, Paris Saint-Germain, and Chelsea coach, was brought in last month to take over a team which had won just once in their last seven games.
He will lead the USA into the 2026 World Cup which they are co-hosting with Canada and Mexico and while he had only five days to work with his new squad his influence was already evident.
