The 54-year-old ‌Argentine, who favours a high-pressing, attacking style of play, took over the US side in ‌2024 after parting ways with Chelsea earlier that year, and had a contract that ran to the end of the 2026 World Cup. "It has become clear to us that there is ​tremendous potential to make the men's national team program even stronger," said Pochettino. "The passion we experienced from the fans throughout the World Cup only strengthened our belief ​in ​what is possible here." The former ​Argentina defender guided Southampton to an eighth-place finish ‌in the Premier League in 2013 - the club's highest-ever finish at the time. He went on to lead Tottenham Hotspur to a first Champions League final appearance in 2019 and in 2022 steered Paris St Germain to the Ligue 1 title.
