Mauricio Pochettino and USMNT
After the United States’ World Cup exit
Mauricio Pochettino refused to say whether he wants to remain USMNT head coach after the World Cup exit to Belgium. His contract expires after the tournament, and U.S. Soccer had reportedly approached him about an extension before kick-off.
Pochettino said the team must first assess the tournament and discuss the future in coming weeks. He urged supporters to keep faith, arguing the current player pool and younger generation have built the mindset needed for long-term growth.
