And the Argentine is now set to swap club football for the international stage after striking a deal to lead the USA, according to Prime Video reporter Ivan Kasanzew.
He will replace Gregg Berhalter in the role.
Pochettino had previously been considered a candidate for the England job before Lee Carsley was named as interim team boss.
