BARCELONA, Spain (AP) --- Mauricio Pochettino is staying with the U.S. soccer
team, agreeing Monday to a four-year contract to coach the Americans through
the 2030 World Cup.
A 54-year-old who took over in October 2024, Pochettino led the U.S. to the
World Cup round of 16, where the tournament co-hosts were eliminated with a 4-1
loss to Belgium.
Still, he helped the seeded U.S. to a pair of firsts in the expanded 48-nation
tournament, clinching advancement from the group stage with a game to spare and
winning three games in a single World Cup.
