The iconic Wayne Rooney, a key figure at Manchester United and currently a BBC analyst, expressed his appreciation for the USA’s coach, Mauricio Pochettino, particularly noting his fashion sense during the half-time dialogue.
Enjoying Pochettino’s style, Rooney even asked for the Argentine’s contact details, eager to find out where the former Spurs, Chelsea, and Paris Saint-Germain manager sources his attire.

During a lively conversation about Pochettino’s fashion in the first half, BBC presenter Gabby Logan remarked, “You really admire his outfit, don’t you?”
Rooney responded, “I love his style and clothing; if only I could have his hair! But maybe I can find out where he shops for his attire.”
Later, as the cameras caught Pochettino heading back to the field, Logan joked, “That’s a special view for Wayne, so he can appreciate Pochettino’s style.”
Rooney exclaimed, “If anyone has Poch’s number, please send it my way—I need to know where he shops!”
