USMNT head coach Mauricio Pochettino joins the U.S. Soccer Podcast for an exclusive interview as he reflects on the latest international window, including the USA’s gritty run in the 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup that ended Sunday night with a 2-1 loss to rival Mexico in an electric match in Houston, Texas.

In conversation with host Alejandro Bedoya, Pochettino talks about his first year as head coach of the USMNT (2:55) and highlights his team's growth over a 40-day camp, emphasizing the importance of player development and team cohesion (5:05). Pochettino speaks on the USMNT’s breakout stars from this year’s tournament (11:27), the cultural diversity of American cities (19:21)and what he hopes people take away from watching U.S. Soccer next summer in the FIFA World Cup (21:27).

Later, we hear straight from some of the players who led the USMNT to the program’s 13th Gold Cup Final. We caught up with Tyler Adams, Matt Freese, Patrick Agyemang, Chris Richards and captain Tim Ream right after the match at NRG Stadium for their instant reactions (23:59).

To get more exclusive content, including how players responded to Pochettino’s passionate post-match press conference, become a U.S. Soccer Insider.
