Pochettino signs USMNT extension through 2030

The US Soccer Federation announced that Pochettino’s contract has been extended to cover the next two World Cup cycles, with a clause guaranteeing his position through the 2030 tournament.

The extension was made possible in part by a US $10 million contribution from hedge‑fund billionaire Ken Griffin, earmarked for coaching stability and youth‑development programs.

Pochettino, who guided Tottenham Hotspur to a Champions‑League final, will now focus on integrating emerging American talent into a more possession‑based system.

Critics note the financial outlay comes amid ongoing debates about the federation’s spending priorities.
