The U.S. men’s national team may have hit some unwanted low points during Mauricio Pochettino’s divisive tenure, but the Argentine certainly has the backing of striker Folarin Balgoun.
The former Tottenham Hotspur and Paris Saint-Germain manager has lost seven of his 19 games in charge of USMNT, including the final of this summer’s Gold Cup. Pochettino followed that setback on home soil up with an underwhelming pair of friendlies against South Korea and Japan last month before overseeing a much-improved display against Ecuador on Friday night. However, that heralded clash still resulted in a 1–1 draw.
