Houston, TX, August 3, 2026 —

Mauricio Pochettino has committed his future to the U.S. men’s national soccer team, agreeing to a new four-year contract that will keep him at the helm through the 2030 FIFA World Cup.

The decision comes after Pochettino successfully guided the U.S. squad to the round of 16 in the most recent World Cup. During that tournament, the team achieved several significant milestones in the program’s history. Despite their progress, the U.S. team’s World Cup run concluded with a loss to Belgium.

Pochettino, reflecting on the team’s performance and future, expressed his optimism regarding the squad’s potential. He also noted the developing and strengthening connection between the team and its fanbase in America.

The specifics of the contract, including its commencement date and any potential clauses, were not immediately provided.
