Mauricio Pochettino 'among the contenders for the USA job' after Jurgen Klopp turned it down

Mauricio Pochettino is a potential candidate for the USA job this summer, according to reports in his native Argentina.

The US men's national team are still on the hunt for their next head coach after the firing of Gregg Berhalter, who was dismissed on the back of their dismal Copa America campaign this summer.

Berhalter made way after failing to advance from the group stages of a major tournament on home soil, meaning there is a vacancy to fill less than two years before the World Cup heads to America.

Jurgen Klopp, who called time on his legendary stint as Liverpool manager earlier this year, was sounded out by USMNT chiefs before quickly rejecting their advances amid his plan to have a break from soccer.
