Canada head coach Jesse Marsch revealed lingering frustration over losing the 2023 USMNT job to Gregg Berhalter, calling the U.S. Soccer Federation's decision-making process 'devastating' and 'angry' at the time. Though initially led to believe he'd secure the role, the abrupt shift to Berhalter left Marsch scrambling to withdraw from a finalized Leicester City managerial agreement. The USMNT's subsequent collapse under Berhalter - culminating in his 2024 firing after a disastrous Copa América group stage exit - created a window for Pochettino's hiring, but Marsch emphasized his current satisfaction with Canada Soccer's collaborative environment.
