Mauricio Pochettino has agreed a new contract to remain as coach of the United States men’s national team until after the 2030 World Cup. The deal brings stability but also raises questions about his long-term future.
The agreement gives Pochettino time to build a settled squad and prepare for the next major tournament. His approach has already shown promise in recent matches, with improved organisation and attacking intent. However, he must work on getting the best from his players in high-pressure situations and finding a consistent style that suits the group. There is also the risk that a top club job could tempt him away before the tournament arrives. The focus now is on using this security to deliver real progress on the pitch.
