Hey Athletic Fans,

The USMNT has lost its coach, and the goodbye was emotional. He walked away in tears to sign for Manchester United, and the move has already shaken up the national team. It is a big step for him, but it leaves plenty of questions about what comes next for the USA.

Elsewhere, a world champion has shattered the six-week ACL timeline, completing a recovery in just days. It is a turnaround that sounds almost too good to be true.

All that and more in tonight’s edition of Essentially Athletics.

⚡Why this matters: During his spell with the USMNT, Pochettino led them to the 2025 Gold Cup final and into the Round of 16 at the 2026 World Cup.
