Former United States under-20 coach Mikey Varas will lead the U.S. men's national team on an interim basis during the upcoming September international window, a source confirmed to ESPN.
Varas will be in charge even if Mauricio Pochettino is officially named manager of the USMNT prior to the window, enabling Pochettino time to familiarize himself with the U.S. Soccer Federation and broader American soccer landscape.
The U.S. will host Canada in Kansas City, Kansas, on Sept. 7 and New Zealand in Cincinnati, Ohio, three days later in a pair of friendlies.
