Mauricio Pochettino has signed a four-year extension to coach the U.S. Men's National Team as they gear up for a series of friendlies this fall. The USMNT's upcoming schedule includes four friendlies during the September-October window, aiming to increase competitiveness ahead of regional tournaments. Pochettino's return comes amid ongoing challenges for FIFA, highlighted by President Gianni Infantino's recent attempts to privatize the World Cup, which have drawn criticism from various confederations.
