Mauricio Pochettino offered new contract to lead USMNT into 2030 World Cup after impressive start to tournament on home soil


Mauricio Pochettino has reportedly been offered the chance to lead the USMNT into the 2030 World Cup after his team’s impressive start to the tournament on home soil.

According to The Athletic, the United States Soccer Federation has offered the 54-year-old Argentine a contract extension that would see him manage the team at the next edition of the tournament, to be hosted by Spain, Portugal and Morocco.

Pochettino’s team has given American fans reason to believe they can compete with the world’s best in recent weeks after winning Group D with relative ease.

They claimed routine victories over Paraguay and Australia to secure their spot in the knockout stage but fell to a 3-2 loss to Turkey in their final group game on Thursday night.

A last-32 showdown with Bosnia and Herzegovina has been penciled in for July 1 in San Francisco. 

Any decisions on Pochettino’s future in charge of the U.S. will reportedly be made once the World Cup has concluded.
