Mauricio Pochettino agrees deal to stay as US coach through World Cup 2030

Pochettino joined US national team in 2024 Coach led US to last 16 at 2026 World Cup 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.

The £34m signing from Club Brugge says he is a more complete player now after an indifferent time at Norwich For any Arsenal fan eager to know what Christos Tzolis might bring to the Premier League champions, the winger’s swiftly earned nickname at his new club might prove instructive. In the 2006 action film 300, the leading figure of King Leonidas guides a meagre bunch of Spartans against an overwhelmingly large invading army. Although doomed by the vast numerical disadvantage, Leonidas’s courage, determination and strength inspires his troops far beyond their means. It is his name that Arsenal’s fitness coaches have given their new Greek. Within a week of his £34m move from Club Brugge , Tzolis had made himself conspicuous at Arsenal’s training ground by acing a host of pre-season tests, topping the charts in one particular fitness challenge that involves players running more than a kilometre over varying intervals.
