Mauricio Pochettino offered contract extension to lead USMNT for second World Cup cycle - The Athletic

The United States Soccer Federation has offered head coach Mauricio Pochettino a contract extension to lead the USMNT through a second World Cup cycle until 2030, with his current deal set to expire after the 2026 tournament. The proposal was presented to the 54-year-old Argentine coach several months before the tournament, as U.S. Soccer signaled its desire to continue the working relationship. However, all final decisions have been deferred until after the 2026 World Cup, where the USMNT has already advanced to the knockout stage.
