  "account": "Mauricio Pochettino has signed a contract extension to remain as the manager of the United States men's national team until 2030. The former Tottenham and Chelsea boss took charge of the US team in September 2024 and led them to the last 16 of the 2026 World Cup, where they were defeated by Belgium.\n\nAccording to US Soccer, Pochettino's new role will involve greater responsibility, including advising and supporting the federation on various aspects of the national team pathway, youth soccer, coaching education, professional league collaboration, and other technical areas. Pochettino expressed his excitement about expanding his experience and knowledge to enhance these areas and contribute to the broader development of the sport in the United States.\n\nUS Soccer president Cindy Parlow Cone praised Pochettino's ability to build a culture where players trust the group, the process, and each other. This culture, along with the staff who helped develop it, played a significant role in the team's performance on the global stage. Cone emphasized that the team's growth, competition, and results at the World Cup were a testament to the impact of this culture.\n\nPochettino's extension and expanded responsibilities signify US Soccer's commitment to investing in the men's national team's future and its overall development.",
