Following a disappointing 4-1 loss to Belgium to crush his World Cup hopes, Team USA head coach Mauricio Pochettino revealed he was in talks with the federation regarding his future as the team's coach.
“Right now, it’s about resting a little bit, to think, have conversations with the federation to see what the decision is. I’m so happy,” Pochettino said in the postgame press conference following the loss to Belgium. “We’ve built a very good relationship.”
Just a few weeks later, it appears Pochettino and the United States Men's National Team are close to a new deal that will keep him with the team for the foreseeable future.

Telemundo broadcaster Andres Cantor first reported Tuesday night that a renewal was close. The new proposed deal would be for four years through the 2030 World Cup, according to a report from The New York Times.
U.S. Soccer CEO JT Batson recently confirmed the two sides were in communication on Pochettino's future.
“From a men’s national team coaching standpoint, we’re in active discussions with Mauricio and staff about the future,” he said. “We all share a belief that the best days of U.S. Soccer are ahead of us, and they’re excited about the opportunity to impact soccer at all levels in every community.”
The United States cruised through group stage and defeated Bosnia-Herzegovina in the Round of 32 before its blowout loss to Belgium in the Round of 16.
