The US finished top of their group at the World Cup with wins over Paraguay and Australia.

They earned a 2-0 victory against Bosnia-Herzegovina in the last 32 before their challenge was ended by a 4-1 defeat by Belgium.

They were involved in one of the controversial issues at the tournament when striker Folarin Balogun was sent off against Bosnia but escaped a suspension following an intervention from US President Donald Trump.

“Mauricio has built a culture where players trust the group, trust the process and trust each other,” mentioned US Soccer president Cindy Parlow Cone.

“We saw the impact of that belief in the way the team grew, competed and performed on the world’s biggest stage.

“That culture, and the staff who helped build it, are exactly what we want to continue investing in for the men’s national team now and for the future.”
