As Tottenham Hotspur once again go in search of a new manager following the swift exit of interim boss Igor Tudor, Mauricio Pochettino has once again been floated. However it would reportedly take a “huge,” potentially record-breaking, compensation fee to extract the U.S. men’s national team head coach from his contract before this summer’s World Cup.

All 18 months of Pochettino’s reign for the USMNT have been explicitly geared towards the global jamboree on home soil, yet he has made little secret of his desire to return to club management.
