Summary
Next week is Pochettino's deadline to decide whether to stay as U.S. men's coach after U.S. Soccer offered to extend his contract through the 2030 World Cup.
The 54-year-old said talks are ongoing and that the decision will follow a review of the offer, with his current deal set to expire at the end of this tournament.
U.S. Soccer still hopes to keep him despite the hosts' 4-1 round-of-16 loss to Belgium, which ended a run that had included strong group-stage displays and a 2-0 win over Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Pochettino, hired in September 2024 and linked earlier this year with several European clubs, is meanwhile focused on Sunday's final, calling Spain vs. Argentina one of the biggest matches in history.
