Mauricio Pochettino will remain coach of the U.S. men's national team through the 2030 FIFA World Cup, according to an announcement from U.S. Soccer. The decision keeps the Argentine manager in charge beyond the team's latest World Cup cycle and signals long-term backing from the federation.
Pochettino took over in 2024 with the task of steadying the program ahead of the World Cup. Under his leadership, the United States produced a record three wins in the tournament and reached the round of 16 before being eliminated.
That run also helped rebuild momentum around the team, with renewed excitement among supporters following his arrival. Extending Mauricio Pochettino's stay gives the USMNT continuity as it plans for the next major international competitions and begins preparing for the 2030 World Cup.
For U.S. Soccer, the move suggests confidence that the progress made under Pochettino can continue over a longer period. Keeping the same coach in place may also help the national team build on its recent results and maintain the energy generated during the World Cup campaign.
