Batson says US federation will ‘take a break’
Pochettino’s future remains unresolved
Sporting director role unfilled after Crocker exit
The US men’s national team leaves the World Cup with some considerable gaps in their organizational chart. Mauricio Pochettino’s future is undetermined as his contract – funded in part by billionaire donors – ends with the conclusion of this tournament. In April, Matt Crocker resigned from his role as sporting director to take a similar position with Saudi Arabia.
Despite these crucial positions being open, there may not be resolutions for some time.
