A separate source told ESPN that Pochettino's situation with Chelsea remains unresolved. He is owed money by the Premier League club and until a resolution is found he cannot sign a contract to take over the USMNT.
Pochettino is expected to be installed in time to take charge of the USMNT game against
Canada in Kansas City, Kansas, on Sept. 7.
Pochettino would be able to keep a European base and not move to the U.S. full time, a source told ESPN, as he could watch bulk of the national team players in major European leagues.
