Those suggesting Pep not a realistic target for the USMNT? They got Klinsmann and Poch by going after their target, putting together the right package and selling the job successfully to their target candidate. They can do the same for Pep - no guarantee he would agree but surely the right first move.
#USA Football Federation are preparing an official and huge bid to try to convince Pep #Guardiola to accept the coach role to replace Mauricio #Pochettino, who will leave in the next days to join #ManchesterUnited which are set to pay the release clause for the argentinian. #MUFC
🚨 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆: Pep Guardiola is expected to be the 𝐓𝐎𝐏 𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐈𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 to become the new USA manager, according to @TheAthleticFC 😲🇺🇸
Guardiola's name has been discussed internally at multiple levels of the federation's hiring process, the report says. 🗞️
With Mauricio Pochettino set to leave for Man United, the federation would look to lure Guardiola into international management. 👔
Guardiola has held talks with the US federation in the past and has long been intrigued by the prospect of working in America. 💬
He is also familiar with life in the United States, having lived in New York City during a year-long sabbatical after leaving Barcelona in 2012. 🏡
Earlier this year, Guardiola turned down the Italy job, reportedly telling them he wanted more time off for family reasons.
Maybe he would now be open to a new challenge... 👀
U.S. Soccer is expected to make Pep Guardiola a top target to replace Mauricio Pochettino if the USMNT coach leaves for Manchester United, sources briefed on the situation tell The Athletic.

🚨🇺🇸 Sources: U.S. Soccer is expected to make Pep Guardiola a top target to become next USMNT head coach.
Obviously the pursuit would not be straightforward nor easy. But likely to start with call to Pep.

If Zubimendi goes, you have to look at the market for midfielders in the summer and factor that into any price
Naturally it’ll come down considering he’s low in the Arsenal pecking order
I’d want £70m minimum
But I’d also rather not sell, I still rate him a lot
@TomCantonMedia@johndoe8732X@Football_LDN How is it possible that we still need to sell after Jesus, Martinelli and Trossard are all gone? How many people do we need to sell?!
The way Gabriel has maintained his level of performance after the emotional and physical toll last season’s title race, CL final and World Cup must have taken on him is nothing short of remarkable.
The club needs to stop trying to outsmart a market that doesn’t make sense & just pay for the attributes this team needs. Tired of watching our attackers struggle to create separation in crucial moments
It’s insane how Havertz carries absolutely no threat. Defenders don’t even rate him at all; they just fling him around in duels like a kid.
Never seen a big-club player carry less threat in my life.
