Pochettino Decision on US Coaching Imminent

Mauricio Pochettino announced his decision on continuing as US men's national team coach is just days away, with the manager evaluating a contract extension through the 2030 World Cup.

The 54-year-old manager, who was offered a contract extension despite the USA's 4-1 loss to Belgium in the round of 16, confirmed his current contract expires after Sunday's World Cup final. "They made me an offer to continue, and we'll see," Pochettino told a Spanish radio station. argolida.life

Hired to replace Gregg Berhalter in 2024, Pochettino is the highest-paid coach in US Soccer history with a salary north of $6 million. Despite a rocky 18-month tenure with losses to several top teams, he helped the US win their World Cup group before the disappointing defeat to Belgium, which was watched by more than 50 million Americans.
