Honestly? He's done nothing for so long. He's a busted flush. Are you sure you're not Amadaeus in disguise?
What's he ever achieved in the game? United were never close to getting him in at any point.

Absolutely. If only the top clubs had seen his genius he could have to rivalled the greats
What a fall from grace.
The man has no ambition.
Was hoping he would come to United for a little while but thankfully it won't happen now.

As an American, this excites me. He’s a massive improvement on Berhalter. I was expecting a good ol’ boys pick.
I never liked him but it's a great hire for the US. Way better than any coach I expected them to hire and it's no contest between him and the nepotism guy.
Huge fall off in ambition- but a massive coup for the US (probably a sizeable income as well). Decent coach all things considered and does generally well in tournament-style games.
can someone tl-dr this amadeus chap for me?
A genuinely unnatural support and love of Poch, which led to him getting involved in multiple arguments with Spurs and Chelsea fans, as well as Man Utd fans, about the genius of Poch.
By the end, it may have become parody, who knows, as he attacked literally everyone else (owners, players, board etc) as the causes of Poch's failings.
Honestly a really weird fall though, Poch did seem to be turning it around at Chelsea somewhat towards the end and you feel he could get a better job.
Perhaps he's done with club football though.
They also claimed to be a United fan but immediately after Chelsea won against United they were in this thread bigging up Poch.
Ah was he? Classic amadeus.
What was weird is he wasn't Argie as far as I'm aware which would have made things slightly more understandable.
He’s better than this ffs!
There’s only one thing Amadeus loved more than United, Chelsea and Poch and that is attention.
Some people are just like that.
I remember on a different forum there was a "Chelsea fan" who was hard-core Mourinho and lost the plot when we best his United 4-0

It’s not a bad gig, to be fair. Less pressure, better work life balance, guaranteed big tournament experience. I’d have gone for that as well, after the Chelsea fiasco.
False claims by him to be a United Supporter. In reality Amadeus was a wum that became too repetitive.
So there was a guy whose love for one manager transcended supporting specific clubs/players?
wtf, this is even stranger than people who support different clubs based on where their favourite player plays.
There was a guy who supported Man Utd, Madrid and then Juve simply because that's where Ronaldo went.
This takes that even a step further.

A chance to make a name for himself ar the world cup
Strange choice. Like what would be viewed as a successful WC for the US team on the pitch?
Mauricio Pochettino says he's so excited to take over as USA head coach ahead of the 2026 World Cup and "We need to believe we can win the World Cup"
Odds on them not even getting out of the group?

Probably pretty unfavourable pending the draw - especially as the US should be in Pot 1
I heard 1/4s or semis would be considered a good WC. Semis at this point seem unreachable but the young kids they have now should be much better by ‘26 so maybe there’s a chance.
Mauricio Pochettino said the US can win the World Cup. Now they can’t even win a game
The Americans have now lost four matches in a row, and the World Cup is one year away. Serious questions are starting to emerge about their "high-profile" coachhttps://share.google/VovXcrx8SNZgIY1RQ
The team they line up with last night was really poor.
The US team under Pochettino looks like fish out of water and birds without wings. I'm not sure who or what the answer is, but it's not him.
I feel like Poch is a good manager but ever since he left Spurs he keeps picking the wrong jobs
I feel like they keep hiring these expansive footballing coaches, when with the talent they have they should be focusing on parking the bus and praying for a counter attack.
Keep hiring? Our last 5 coaches have been:
Arena (greater parker of buses)
Bradley (lesser parker of busses)
Klinsman (was bus parking curious by the end)
Arena (forgot to bring the bus to T&T)
Berhalter (parked hipster buses)
Poch (may want to jump on the first bus out of here)
Not going to argue that our talent pool is a whole bunch more shit than we hoped coming out of the last WC. The problem is we are not even suited for a counter attacking style because we are more lacking in pace than at any time I can remember in the last 2 decades.
That was our C team that got rocked by Switzerland. I’m resigned to the fact that even with our preferred XI we just aren’t very good. It’s depressing because we won’t get a better chance to sneak through to the later rounds in the next 50 years. World Cup at home and we are going to squander it.
I disagree with the pace thing. Balogun, Weah and Pulisic are pacy enough to be the attackers for counter attacking. Tillman is suited for that as well. But I doubt Poch wants to go that route so it will be a while before we are good.
They have pace, but they don't use it. Maybe it's a tactical thing (GGG seemed to abhor his team doing anything above walking pace and it's not Poch's style as you say), but Pulisic seems to increasingly check back once he makes a little run and Balo is often playing with his back to goal. Weah I will give you.
The last coach did a great job, beating Mexico several times and playing a good WC. At least in my non American perspective.
