United States soccer officials continue to harbor very ambitious plans.

The Athletic journalist Tom Bogert reports that unemployed Pep Guardiola should be the US national team’s primary target for the head coach position.

It appears that current coach Mauricio Pochettino will join Manchester United, so a replacement needs to be found urgently.

However, the Argentine could still lead the national team during this period, as there is no finalized agreement between the Americans and the "Red Devils.”

Besides Pep Guardiola, more well-known names should also appear on the shortlist.
