U.S. men's national team manager Mauricio Pochettino has been offered a contract extension that would keep him in charge through the 2030 World Cup, according to sources.
A final decision on whether Pochettino will remain with the U.S. beyond the 2026 World Cup, which the United States is co-hosting, will be made after the conclusion of that tournament.
Pochettino was appointed as the U.S. manager in September 2024. He previously managed several prominent European clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur, Paris Saint-Germain, and Chelsea. During his tenure with Tottenham, he reached the 2019 Champions League final.
The Argentine native has led the current U.S. squad to first place in Group D of the ongoing 48-team World Cup, marking the third time in the tournament's history that the team has won its group. Pochettino has at times been linked with a return to European club management upon the completion of his tenure with the U.S. team. In May, he was reportedly considered for the AC Milan job, though the Italian club has since appointed Rúben Amorim.
A spokesperson for U.S. Soccer declined to confirm or deny the extension offer, which was initially reported by The Athletic.
