US Soccer has extended Mauricio Pochettino's contract through 2030, locking in the head coach for the long term. The move ties Pochettino to the national team program for the next several years, covering multiple World Cup cycles.
What the extension covers
The new deal runs through 2030, though financial terms were not disclosed. Pochettino's previous contract was set to expire earlier, but the extension signals US Soccer's confidence in his leadership. The organization did not provide a reason for the timing of the announcement.
Pochettino will now lead the US through the 2026 World Cup and beyond. The extension gives him stability to build the squad without the distraction of an expiring contract. Players and staff will know who is in charge for the foreseeable future.
The decision comes as US Soccer looks to maintain continuity in its coaching staff. No other changes to the technical staff were announced alongside the extension.
