Mauricio Pochettino will remain in charge of the United States men’s national team through the 2030 FIFA World Cup after signing a new contract with US Soccer.
The 54-year-old Argentine, who took over in 2024, earned an extension following a historic 2026 World Cup campaign in which the USA reached the last 16 and recorded three victories for the first time in the nation’s World Cup history.
“The passion we experienced from the fans throughout the World Cup only strengthened our belief in what is possible here. We want to leave a lasting impact on the sport in this country that extends beyond results on the field,” said Pochettino.
Since replacing Gregg Berhalter, Pochettino has guided the Americans to the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup final before leading them to an impressive World Cup run on home soil, where they were eventually eliminated by Belgium in the Round of 16.
US Soccer president Cindy Parlow Cone praised the former Tottenham and Chelsea manager for creating a strong team culture built on trust, unity and belief.
Despite links with a return to European club football, Pochettino has committed his future to the national team as the USA prepares for the 2030 World Cup in Spain, Portugal and Morocco.
The United States will now hope Pochettino can lead them beyond the last 16 and challenge for a first World Cup quarter-final appearance since 2002.
