Mauricio Pochettino has signed a new deal to lead the USMNT until the 2030 World Cup, with U.S. Soccer receiving the backup from external fundings to back his multimillion-dollar salary. Mauricio Pochettino has officially signed a contract extension with the United States Men’s National Team to lead the program through the 2030 World Cup, extending a cycle that began in 2024. However, just as with his inaugural contract, U.S. Soccer will once again rely on private philanthropic backing to fund the Argentine manager’s multimillion-dollar salary. Following his initial appointment in 2024, a tax filing released in March 2026 revealed that Pochettino earned roughly $5 million in his first seven months on the job. Excluding a $2.5 million signing bonus, annual projections for his base salary and incentives pushed his earnings near $6 million per year, making him the third-highest-paid national team manager at the 2026 World Cup behind Brazil’s Carlo Ancelotti ($11.3 million) and Germany’s Julian Nagelsmann ($7.9 million). While the exact financial terms of his new four-year deal have not been made public, a comparable salary structure would see Pochettino collect approximately $24 million over the full lifecycle of the contract through 2030. Ken Griffin serves as main U.S. Soccer financial benefactor once again Just as he did during Pochettino’s initial hiring, Ken Griffin, Founder and CEO of Miami-based Citadel and Founder of Griffin Catalyst, has stepped up as the lead private donor behind the extension, alongside other high-net-worth individuals and corporate sponsors. U.S. Soccer confirmed the financial arrangement in an official press release: Kenneth C. Griffin speaks at TIME100 Impact Dinner (Craig Barritt/Getty Images for TIME). “This appointment and broader investment in the U.S. Men’s National Team program is being supported in significant part by a philanthropic leadership gift from Kenneth C. Griffin, Founder and CEO of Citadel and Founder of Griffin Catalyst. Additional support has been provided by Scott Goodwin, Adam Freede, and several commercial partners.“ Griffin’s financial involvement with soccer in the United States spans nearly a decade, starting with a $3 million donation to the U.S. Soccer Foundation in 2017 to fund 50 urban mini-pitches in Chicago. In 2023, he pledged an additional $5 million to build 50 more mini-pitches across Miami-Dade County following Citadel’s corporate relocation to South Florida. Pochettino sets expectations ahead of the 2030 World Cup cycle Under the new agreement, Pochettino is locked in through 2030, putting him at the helm for the 2026-27 and 2028-29 CONCACAF Nations League tournaments, the 2027 Gold Cup, the 2028 Copa America (expected to return to American soil), and ultimately the 2030 World Cup. Having already capped 62 different players during his first two years in charge, Pochettino expressed optimism for the future in the federation’s announcement: “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,” said Pochettino on the press release. “The passion we experienced from the fans throughout the World Cup only strengthened our belief in what is possible here. We want to try to have a lasting impact on the sport in the country that has welcomed us so warmly and for that impact to extend beyond results on the field,” he added, seeking to build on the momentum generated by the team’s 2026 World Cup run.

After helping the United States reach the last 16 at the World Cup this summer, Mauricio Pochettino has signed a new four-year deal. The post Pochettino desires ‘lasting impact’ on USA following contract extension appeared first on SoccerNews.
US men’s national team head coach Mauricio Pochettino and the US Soccer Federation have agreed to a contract extension that will keep Pochettino attached to the program through 2030, US Soccer announced on Monday. The two sides had been actively engaged in discussions on a contract extension for several months, long before the USMNT’s disappointing, last-16 exit in this summer’s World Cup, with the federation making it clear it desired Pochettino to stay. Conversations picked up in the weeks following the World Cup, with the Guardian reporting last week that the sides had been in the “final stages” of agreeing to a deal.

According to reports, Mauricio Pochettino is close to renewing his contract with the USMNT ahead of the 2030 World Cup. Mauricio Pochettino is reportedly nearing a new deal with the USMNT, a four-year extension that would keep him in charge of the national team through the 2030 World Cup. His original contract only covered the buildup to this summer’s tournament, leaving his future as a subject of speculation even as talks with the federation had reportedly already begun before the World Cup kicked off. According to Telemundo’s Andres Cantor, the extension is close to being finalized, a report subsequently confirmed by The Athletic’s David Ornstein. The deal is said to be in its final stages, though it still requires formal approval from US Soccer’s board of directors before it can be made official. Federation president Cindy Parlow Cone has spoken publicly about the progress of the negotiations, describing conversations with Pochettino as “going well” and suggesting an announcement could come in the near future.

(Getty Images) The push to keep Pochettino in place comes despite a tournament that ended in some disappointment on the pitch, with the U.S. eliminated in the Round of 16 by Belgium in a lopsided 4-1 defeat. That result, however, doesn’t appear to have shaken the federation’s confidence in the Argentine coach, whose overall body of work with the program has been used to justify locking him in for another cycle. Pochettino’s numbers as USMNT manager Since taking over, Pochettino has posted a 18-1-12 record across 31 matches in charge of the USMNT. His World Cup campaign specifically produced a string of historic results: the U.S. topped Group D with wins over Paraguay and Australia, racking up six points, the most in a group stage in program history, and the first time the U.S. had won two group-stage matches since 1930. That form carried into the knockout rounds, where a 2-0 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Round of 32 marked the team’s first knockout-stage victory since 2002. Between those results, Pochettino became the winningest head coach in USMNT history at a single World Cup, with three victories in the tournament, while the team also set a new U.S. scoring record with 11 goals across five matches before finishing 12th overall.
Hit by a political wrecking ball ahead of their round of 16 encounter with Belgium, even a helping hand from President Trump could not take the USA into the quarter-finals. Richard Jolly examines what comes next for Mauricio Pochettino and his side
Mauricio Pochettino hailed Fifa’s shock decision to suspend Folarin Balogun’s one-game ban on Sunday, reiterating his claim that the call to issue the US striker a red card was harsh. “Everyone that really loves the sport and trusts ethics and integrity, I think we celebrate all that decision,” Pochettino said. The Guardian reported on Sunday that Donald Trump called Fifa at least three times since Wednesday to lobby for the overturning of Balogun’s one-game suspension, stemming from a straight red card the striker received against Bosnia and Herzegovina in their last-32 matchup.
After the Federation's statement, Belgium head coach Rudi Garcia took a direct jab to FIFA over the decision to overturn Folarin Balogun's suspension: "It's April Fools." Folarin Balogun‘s overturned red card emerged as the defining storyline of the tournament on Sunday, as a shocking retrospective review by FIFA cleared the USMNT striker to play in Monday’s high-stakes knockout clash against Belgium. Following the controversial ruling, Belgian head coach Rudi Garcia heavily criticized soccer’s global governing body, offering a candid and biting assessment: “It’s April Fools.” Balogun was originally issued a straight red card after a dangerous challenge where he stamped on the ankle of Bosnia’s Tarik Muharemovic, a disciplinary action that was supposed to mandate his suspension for the Round of 16 battle against Belgium. However, just 24 hours before kickoff, FIFA released a stunning statement revoking the striker’s ban, noting that “the implementation of the match suspension is suspended for a probationary period of one year.” The unprecedented decision sparked instant outrage among the affected parties, and when pressed on the matter during Sunday’s pre-match press conference, Garcia did not hold back his frustration: “I didn’t know that at the World Cup the 5th of July is actually the first of April. It’s April Fools. We’re not defending the national team or federation, we are defending football.“ The White House reportedly contacts Infantino to review Balogun’s red card Immediately following the initial ejection, Balogun received public backing from head coach Mauricio Pochettino and USMNT his teammates, who collectively argued the challenge did not warrant a straight red card. While standard tournament rules dictated the field decision could not be appealed at that moment, prompting the striker himself to state that “a yellow card would’ve been fair,” a sudden turn of events triggered reports that high-level communications were taking place between the U.S. government and top FIFA executives. Folarin Balogun #20 of the United States fouls Tarik Muharemovic #4 of Bosnia and Herzegovina. According to an initial report from soccer insider Ben Jacobs, which was later verified by the Associated Press, officials from the White House directly contacted FIFA President Gianni Infantino to request a formal review of Balogun’s disciplinary status. Despite the high-profile outreach, governing body sources insist political influence played no role in the ultimate reversal, pointing instead to the independent nature of the disciplinary panel and the specific regulatory powers contained in Article 27. Nevertheless, in the immediate aftermath of the ruling that officially wiped out Balogun’s suspension, both the White House and President Donald Trump publicly celebrated the governing body’s administrative pivot. “Thank you to FIFA for doing what was right, and reversing a great injustice!,” the American president posted on his social media network to applaud the decision. Belgian federation releases formal statement over Balogun ruling Before the Red Devils’ head coach voiced his personal disbelief over the ruling, the Belgian Football Federation (KBVB) had already issued a scathing official statement regarding the revocation of Balogun’s suspension. Throughout the formal dispatch, the federation outlined its legal stance on how the decision directly contradicts established tournament bylaws. “The KBVB reacts with bewilderment to FIFA’s decision that the suspended American player Balogun would still be eligible to play for the USA – Belgium match this coming Monday, July 6th at 17:00 (Seattle time). FIFA bases this decision on Article 27 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code. The article states that the FIFA Disciplinary Committee can decide to suspend the implementation of a previously issued disciplinary measure,” the federation’s opening statement read. “However, Article 66.4 of the same FIFA Disciplinary Code states that a red card automatic
