Mauricio Pochettino has described the opportunity to coach Manchester United as one that was “difficult to turn down” after agreeing to be the head coach of the English Premier League club.
Pochettino made this description at a presser as he prepares to lead the United States of America National Men’s Football Team against Haiti in a CONCACAF Nations League on Saturday, November 14.
The upcoming game is the first of a double header against Haiti which represents his final run out with the Stars and Stripes before he gets officially unveiled as Man United’s head coach following the dismissal of Michael Carrick.
“It’s difficult to talk now because I’m a very emotional guy. In some part it’s a very sad decision, in another part we are professional and we are trying to make our dreams come true.”
“We were talking with the federation and yesterday, when the agreement was reached, we had a meeting and I communicated with the players. They were very supportive. “
“I never said I wanted to go back but they know there aren’t too many opportunities that happen in your career like Manchester United. When it arrives, it’s difficult to turn down” Pochettino said.
