US Soccer is close to finalizing a four-year contract extension with national team head coach Mauricio Pochettino that would keep him through the 2030 FIFA World Cup. The proposed deal, valued at approximately $6 million annually plus bonuses, would cover the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics and the next World Cup cycle.
