Deal would extend Argentinian through 2030 World Cup Coach would stand to earn âsignificantlyâ more Pochettinoâs tenure has been mixed bag of results USMNT head coach Mauricio Pochettino and US Soccer are âin the final stagesâ of finalizing an agreement for a new contract through the 2030 World Cup, multiple sources briefed on ongoing negotiations have told the Guardian.
Those sources requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on the matter. Pochettino was brought on as US head coach in September 2024, tapped to lead the team through the 2026 World Cup, where the Americans suffered a disappointing exit in the last 16.
Both sides had expressed interest in potentially extending the deal in the run-up to the tournament, with US Soccer chief executive JT Batson saying the federation was âexcitedâ about the potential of building on progress made during Pochettinoâs initial spell as head coach.
