Mauricio Pochettino is one month removed from leading the U.S. men's national team to the Round of 16 at the 2026 FIFA men's World Cup, and he's sticking around to try to improve on that result. U.S. Soccer announced Monday, Aug. 3, that Pochettino signed a contract extension to remain the USMNT manager through the 2030 World Cup, per ESPN's Jeff Carlisle. "Working together with U.S. Soccer over the past two years, it has become clear to us that there is tremendous potential to make the Men's National Team program even stronger," Pochettino said in a statement, per Carlisle. "The passion we experienced from the fans throughout the World Cup only strengthened our belief in what is possible here. According to Men in Blazers, Pochettino's three wins at the 2026 World Cup — two in the group stage and one victory over Bosnia-Herzegovina in the Round of 32 — rank first among all USMNT managers at the World Cup in history.
