Mauricio Pochettino reveals major update about uncertain USMNT future
Mauricio Pochettino, head coach of the U.S. men's national soccer team, stated on Spanish radio Cadena Cope that he is evaluating an offer from U.S. Soccer to extend his contract beyond the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with a decision expected next week. Pochettino's current contract expires after the tournament, where the USMNT reached the round of 32 before losing 4-1 to Belgium. Despite U.S. Soccer CEO JT Batson confirming active discussions and Pochettino's involvement in long-term planning, speculation persists that Pochettino may return to European club management, with the England job potentially becoming available after Thomas Tuchel's World Cup semifinal loss to Argentina.
