WATCH: From favorite cities to the NFL – USMNT manager Mauricio Pochettino shares what he loves most about America

USMNT head coach Mauricio Pochettino participated in a rapid-fire Q&A about his favorite American experiences since taking charge of the national team. The Argentine manager named Chicago as his top U.S. city, though he also expressed fondness for Miami, Atlanta, Austin, Los Angeles, and Nashville. When asked about American music, Pochettino selected soul singer Teddy Swims as his favorite artist, while naming Chick-fil-A as his preferred American fast-food option.

The video represents part of U.S. Soccer's ongoing efforts to build Pochettino's profile among American fans who may be less familiar with the former Tottenham, PSG, and Chelsea manager. By highlighting his engagement with American culture through cities, food, entertainment, and other sports, the federation continues positioning Pochettino as someone committed to understanding the country he now represents.

The USMNT will participate in the 2025 Gold Cup as one of the co-hosts and will face Trinidad and Tobago in their first game of the tournament on June 14.
