The United States will play an exhibition match against Mexico on October 15 in Guadalajara, which might be the second game for Mauricio Pochettino, who is in talks to become the new coach for the U.S.
The U.S. team will first play Canada on September 7 in Kansas City, Kansas, and then New Zealand three days later in Cincinnati. These games are the team’s first since being eliminated in the first round of Copa America, which led to the firing of coach Gregg Berhalter.
Mikey Varas, a former assistant to Berhalter, is expected to lead the team for the September matches.
If Pochettino’s deal is completed, his first game as coach could be the October 12 friendly against Panama in Austin, Texas.
The U.S. has not played a friendly in Mexico since 2012 and currently has a seven-game unbeaten streak against Mexico.
