U.S. Soccer extends head coach Pochettino's contract through 2030

The U.S. Soccer Federation announced that it has extended the contract of national team head coach Mauricio Pochettino through 2030. In a statement on Monday, the federation said a new agreement was reached with the Argentine manager and his staff.

Pochettino took charge of the U.S. national team in 2024 after leaving English club Chelsea, and his original contract ran through the end of the 2026 World Cup. The new deal paves the way for the 54-year-old manager to continue his long-term development of the team.

Under Pochettino, known for his high-pressing, attacking style of football, the U.S. delivered a historic performance at the World Cup. The team won three matches, setting a record for most wins in a single tournament, and topped its group for only the third time in its history.

In the round of 32, the U.S. defeated Bosnia and Herzegovina 2-0, marking their first knockout-stage victory since 2002. The team scored in all five of its matches, and netted at least two goals in four of them. However, they were eliminated in the quarterfinals after a 4-1 loss to Belgium.

Pochettino's record with the U.S. national team stands at 17 wins, 2 draws, and 12 losses in 31 matches.
