  THE GOSSIP

    WHAT NEXT FOR PULISIC

    Pulisic will now work under Mauricio Pochettino with the USMNT after the former Chelsea boss was appointed as head coach. The 25-year-old has said “a lot of things need to change” within the national team set-up and has urged Pochettino to bring a “culture that is willing to fight”.
