He suddenly stopped talking... This is what Pochettino did the moment he said goodbye to the American national team

Manchester United reached an agreement with the US Soccer Federation on Friday, allowing Argentine coach Mauricio Pochettino to leave the American national team and lead the English club. Pochettino was scheduled to continue in his position as coach of the US national team until 2030, before his departure was approved.

Mauricio Pochettino will begin his duties with Manchester United on November 18, after the end of the current international break. In a press conference prior to the US team's match with Haiti, the Argentine coach appeared very emotional.

Pochettino could not control himself when he spoke about farewell to the American team, as he suddenly stopped speaking to reporters and shed tears. Mauricio Pochettino said: "It is very difficult to speak now. I am very emotional. It is certainly a sad decision. There is no doubt that it is the most difficult decision in my coaching career, but we are professionals and we always have to find alternative solutions to achieve our dreams."

He added: "I signed a contract with the American Federation for additional years, but the opportunity to coach Manchester United cannot be rejected." He continued: "I would like to thank the crew and players for the past two years. I was really happy to participate in this wonderful project. We were very excited to participate in the project and we really believed in it."

Pochettino spent more than two years coaching the American national team, and led it to achieve 21 wins, 12 defeats and two draws.
