Mauricio Pochettino has signed a new deal as manager of the United States men’s national team – and will now stay until 2030.
The former Tottenham and Chelsea boss, who has been in the job since September 2024, led the host nation USA to the last eight of the 2026 World Cup, where they lost to Belgium.
Now the role is expanding. US Soccer confirms that Pochettino and the support staff will have a greater area of responsibility – they will also “advise and support US Soccer in the broader development of the national team’s path to the top, youth football, coach education, cooperation with professional leagues and other technical aspects”.
Pochettino says:
World Cup success and controversy
The United States won their group at the World Cup with victories over Paraguay and Australia, before beating Bosnia and Herzegovina 2-0 in the last eight. Their journey was stopped by Belgium, who won 4-1.
The United States was also involved in one of the tournament’s most talked-about cases – when striker Folarin Balogun was sent off against Bosnia, but escaped suspension after US President Donald Trump intervened.
