U.S. men's national team coach Mauricio Pochettino has an offer on the table to continue leading the squad through the 2030 World Cup, The Athletic reported Friday.
The United States Soccer Federation has offered the proposal but no decisions will be made until after the current tournament, per the report.
Pochettino, 54, has guided the Americans into the Round of 32 after finishing atop Group D with wins over Paraguay and Australia and a 3-2 loss Thursday against Turkey.
Conversations about extending the Argentine coach's contract 'have been ongoing for several months,' according to the report.
Pochettino could decide to return to club soccer instead. He previously managed England's Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur and France's Paris Saint-Germain, among others.
If he signs up for another four-year cycle, Pochettino would be in charge of preparing the squad for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles as well as Copa America the same year. The 2030 FIFA World Cup will be jointly hosted by Morocco, Portugal and Spain.
Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay will host one match each to mark the 100th anniversary of the World Cup.
Uruguay won the first World Cup competition in 1930.
