Mauricio Pochettino has agreed to remain head coach of the United States men’s national soccer team through the 2030 World Cup, according to a report published on August 4, 2026.

The agreement extends the Argentine coach’s tenure beyond the current World Cup cycle and gives the US program continuity as it plans for the next global tournament. The source report did not provide financial terms or other details of the extension.

The 2030 World Cup is scheduled to follow the 2026 tournament hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico. Keeping Pochettino in charge would allow US Soccer to carry its technical leadership from the home tournament into the following four-year cycle.
