Very clever move for both parties

US wanted a big name head coach. Went first for Klopp, that tells everything

At the same time, Poch knows top benches will not be empty for the next 1-2 years, so he wants to start rectifying his name with some top work at NT level

rectifying name coaching US? Don’t think so.
Just looking for decent pay within low stress working environment. Same as Tata.

Tata will never coach on Tier1 again after Barca. And he was never justified to given his work

Poch totally different story. He is Tier1 coach.
He made wrong choices, first with PSG (every serious coach taints his name there), and then with Chelsea where he did an excellent job for a 1st season but he had to know better the idiotic owners he is conversing with

What club you see wanting him after seeing work done with US NT that don’t want him now?

If he does a solid job leading to WC '26, I see top6 EPL clubs that will be in need of a new coach that summer going for him again
Plus Madrid also possible. Perez a longtime admirer, always had him on the list. Ancelotti will be retiring then

Villarato!
Proper disappointing. Like the guy but how do you enter coaching retirement this early when have such a point to prove
