Pochettino’s future uncertain as US Soccer weighs next move after World Cup exit

• Pochettino awaits talks over future with US team

• Federation backs coach but leaves door open

Spend any time around US men's national team head coach Mauricio Pochettino and you'll likely notice a medallion hanging from a bracelet on his right wrist. It is emblazoned with an engraving of Saint Christopher, the patron saint of travelers.

It's a detail that feels appropriate for Pochettino, or any high-level manager, really, all of whom are inherently nomadic. The Argentinian has enjoyed stability at a handful of stops but has also done his share of moving, having shepherded five different clubs prior to his arrival in the United States about 22 months ago.
