Jesse Marsch is optimistic Mauricio Pochettino will make a positive impact following his appointment as the United States new head coach.
Pochettino was announced on Tuesday as the Stars and Stripes successor to Gregg Berhalter, who was dismissed following a disappointing group-stage exit at this year s Copa America.
The Argentine has agreed to lead the USA into the 2026 World Cup, which they will co-host with neighbours Canada and Mexico.
Canada boss Marsch was twice linked with taking over the reins of his native nation, but revealed he was not interested in the role unless there s a big shift in the organisation .
Nevertheless, he feels former Tottenham, Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea head coach Pochettino is undoubtedly the right man to take the coun…

After two Premier League games without a victory, champions Liverpool returned to winning ways on Saturday courtesy of a 2-1 triumph against Sheffield United.
The win – courtesy of Diogo Jota s second-half header – extends Jurgen Klopp s side s stunning home record over recent seasons, while the winless Blades remain in the relegation zone after another disappointing day.
Debutant Edinson Cavani, meanwhile, could do little to help Manchester United correct their wayward home from as they played out a 0-0 draw with Chelsea at Old Trafford.
West Ham maintained their recent strong form to hold Manchester City to a 1-1 draw in London, while Fulham s dreadful start to the new campaign continued with a 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace.

Aaron Cresswell scored a goal any full-back would be proud of as West Ham ended their seven-game Premier League winless streak by beating Chelsea 1-0 at Stamford Bridge.
The Hammers became only the second side to win at Chelsea in the league this season and Frank Lampard s side, who lost at Manchester City a week prior, could have few complaints about the result.
With Tammy Abraham sidelined and N Golo Kante among the substitutes, Chelsea lacked a cutting edge in attack and guile in midfield as West Ham s Mark Noble and Declan Rice were given the run of the park.
Cresswell scored the winner early in the second half and West Ham could have extended their lead before surviving a late rally from the hosts to secure their first victory since they beat Manchester Unit…

Buendia has made 109 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career. The winger has scored 10 goals and given 15 assists in those games. The 26-year-old made 27 starts and 11 substitute appearances in the Premier League for …
Martin Braithwaite scored twice as Barcelona eased to a 4-0 victory over Dynamo Kiev in Champions League Group G on Tuesday.
After an underwhelming first-half display, Ronald Koeman s side took the lead early in the second period with a fine finish from Sergino Dest.
Braithwaite netted his first goal in Europe for Barca with a close-range finish from a corner before he added his second of the game from the penalty spot.

Paris Saint-Germain have disrespected Barcelona by publicly discussing a move for Lionel Messi and the Spanish club should take action, says Joan Laporta.
Messi s future remains unclear as his contract at Barcelona continues to wind down. The talismanic forward was linked with Manchester City having made clear his desire to leave in the previous transfer window, though he ended up remaining at Camp Nou to see out his current deal.
Negotiations over a renewal are not helped by the uncertainty over the identity of the next president at the Spanish club, though an election date is now set for March 7.
Laporta is one of the remaining candidates in the running and has made clear the importance of making Messi an offer that helps …
Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen will undergo surgery after suffering a complete rupture of the patella tendon in his right knee.
The Germany international sustained the injury during Barcelona s 5-1 win at Villarreal in LaLiga on Sunday.
Ter Stegen fell badly after jumping for a ball just before half-time and was visibly in pain as he was carried off the pitch on a stretcher.
All of his weight fell on his right leg as he injured the same knee on which he had already undergone two surgeries in recent years.

He is reportedly set to be out for around seven months, meaning his season could well be over.

Jurgen Klopp says he did not feel under pressure pitting his wits against Steven Gerrard but likened the way Liverpool made hard work of beating Aston Villa to tooth pain .
Reds legend Gerrard suffered a 1-0 defeat on his return to Anfield as Villa manager, Mohamed Salah scoring the only goal of the game from the penalty spot after Tyrone Mings brought him down midway through the second half.
Liverpool dominated the game and Villa failed to register a shot on target, but they might have had a late penalty of their own for a challenge from Alisson on former Reds striker Danny Ings.
That is seven wins in a row in all competitions for the second-placed Merseyside club, who are a point behind Premier League leaders Manchester City.
Gerrard was given a great r…
Ed Woodward is proud to have worked for Manchester United, as his departure from the club at the end of 2021 was confirmed.
It has been a remarkable 48 hours across football, with United – and their owners the Glazer family – key players in a 12-team European Super League which was announced, to much derision, on Sunday.
Yet two days later, following widespread condemnation from national governments, football associations, UEFA, FIFA and fellow clubs, the breakaway league appears to be crumbling, with United s neighbours Manchester City the first team to officially withdraw.
Chelsea, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are also rumoured to be set to follow suit, while Liverpool s players have gone on a social media campaign – spearheaded by captain Jordan Hende…
