Mauricio Pochettino returns as USMNT coach on new deal through 2030 World Cup

Mauricio Pochettino has agreed to a new contract with U.S. Soccer to continue as USMNT head coach through the 2030 World Cup, the federation announced Monday. The Argentine manager's first contract had expired after the 2026 World Cup, and his renewed deal will also see him advise on youth development, coaching education, and professional league collaboration. Pochettino's next camp is a joint September-October international window featuring four friendlies, with his player pool now open again after being narrowed to 26 for the 2026 World Cup.
