BILLIONAIRE KEN GRIFFIN A ‘SIGNIFICANT PART’ OF USMNT’S MAURICIO POCHETTINO HIRE
By
Ryan Glasspiegel
Published Sep. 10, 2024, 9:36 p.m. ET
Comments
The men’s U.S. Soccer team finally has a new coach, and the hire happened in a
way that mimics coaching transactions in college football.
Mauricio Pochettino was named the new head coach of the USMNT after months in
which he was rumored as the frontrunner for the job.
The press release announcing the hire included an interesting footnote,
declaring that it was “supported in significant part by a philanthropic
leadership gift” by billionaire hedge funder Ken Griffin, the founder and CEO of
Citadel.

head coaching hire with a large donation. AFP via Getty Images
The latest estimate at the Bloomberg Billionaire Index pegs Griffin as the 34th
wealthiest person in the world with a net worth of $41.8 billion.
The exact amount Griffin donated to support the coaching hire was undisclosed,
and the press release also cited Diameter co-founder and managing partner Scott
Goodwin, as well as “several” corporations as underwriting Pochettino’s hire.

It is common in college athletics for university boosters to underwrite the
hirings — and firing buyouts — of head coaches, but this is new territory at
least in the U.S. for it to happen to bring in a head coach for international
competition.
Griffin previously donated $5 million to the U.S. Soccer Federation for youth
soccer fields in the Miami area.

Pochettino, 52, was Chelsea’s manager from 2023-24 and managed Paris
Saint-Germain and Tottenham Hotspur prior to that.
He succeeds Gregg Berhalter, who was fired in July after a disappointing Copa
America performance.
“The decision to join U.S. Soccer wasn’t just about football for me; it’s about
the journey that this team and this country are on,” Pochettino said in a
statement.

“The energy, the passion, and the hunger to achieve something truly historic
here — those are the things that inspired me. The opportunity to lead the U.S.
Men’s National Team, in front of fans who are just as passionate as the players,
is something I couldn’t pass up. I see a group of players full of talent and
potential, and together, we’re going to build something special that the whole
nation can be proud of.”
