Luis Surez has opened up on his decision to sign a contract extension with Inter Miami, revealing that his "burning desire" to compete remains as strong as ever despite being 39 years old. The Uruguayan legend, who remains a focal point of the Herons' attack alongside Lionel Messi, also addressed the tactical shifts that saw him briefly lose his starting spot under former coach Javier Mascherano. Accepting a reduced role under Mascherano The veteran forward faced an unfamiliar situation during the 2025 MLS playoffs when he was relegated to the bench by Mascherano. Following a suspension in the first round against Nashville SC, Surez found himself watching from the sidelines, a period that the striker admits was a test of his patience and professionalism. "Obviously, at the time, Mascherano spoke to me about it and explained the situation. I understood it and accepted it without any issues," Surez told reporters on Wednesday. "Of course, when you start getting fewer and fewer minutes on the pitch, you inevitably ask yourself why? What is the reason? Especially since the minutes when I was playing weren't exactly bad performances. "But, well, those are decisions you just have to accept. My job was to keep working hard day in and day out, trying to prove that I deserved a bit more playing time." Finding inner peace through the struggle Despite the frustration of playing a supporting role, the former Barcelona and Liverpool star believes the experience helped him grow emotionally at this late stage of his career. Surez entered the 2026 campaign as a substitute before eventually reclaiming his place in the XI under interim manager Guillermo Hoyos, already contributing "Like any player's career, not just mine, it goes through ups and downs. There are times when you feel great, and times when you feel off," Suarez explained. "There was the suspension, followed by the period of not playing, that whole experience actually led me to become calmer in a certain sense, I never went out and spoke. Then, obviously, when you get back to playing, you start feeling like yourself again, you feel happy and involved, which is what you always want, and you regain your confidence. "But these are the ups and downs that every player goes through, and I've certainly experienced plenty of them throughout my career." The motivation behind the 2026 extension Surez officially committed his future to the South Florida club by signing a one-year extension in December. While many expected the iconic striker to wind down his career, his performances alongside Messi have proven that his instinct in front of goal remains world-class, fueled by a competitive fire that refuses to go out. "The decision comes from the realization that you still have a little bit left in the tank, that the desire to keep competing is still there," Suarez said regarding his new deal. "And, well, you can see it out on the pitch - I still get frustrated by defeats and misplaced passes and you still savor those moments when you manage to score. I still have that adrenaline, that burning desire to keep playing." Relationship with fellow striker German Berterame Suarez has dismissed rumors of friction following German Berterames arrival, choosing instead to embrace a mentorship role under interim boss Hoyos. "My objective is simply to help anyone who joins the team," Suarez noted, praising Berterames physical attributes and emphasizing their fantastic relationship. The veteran striker insisted that regardless of how many new forwards arrive, he remains committed to supporting his teammates and helping them grow.

It may surprise some of the newer fans of the U.S. men's national team that its history with the World Cup actually stretches back to the very first edition of soccer's most prestigious tournament. The U.S. was one of 13 teams who participated in the inaugural event in 1930 in Uruguay. A second appearance occurred in 1950, but then a 40-year drought saw the U.S. not return to soccer's biggest stage until 1990. Leading these World Cup squads were managers who made their mark on American soccer. From a surprise semifinal run to breaking a decades-long drought, to reaching quarterfinals and building golden generations, the men who have stood on the USA sideline have written the story of a program still chasing its ceiling. Let's look at the managers who have led the U.S. men's team at the World Cup: Robert Millar (1930 World Cup) USA Manager Tenure: 1928-1930 The first coach to lead the U.S. men's national team to a World Cup was the Scottish-born Millar, who moved to the United States in 1911. He played with some of the earliest created soccer clubs in New York and Philadelphia and even played two matches for the national team in 1928 before retiring as player. But Millar's greatest contribution to the game was taking over as manager of the U.S. for the inaugural 1930 World Cup in Uruguay. Two surprise wins in their group stage against Belgium and Paraguay led to a surprise appearance in the semifinals, where the Americans lost to Argentina. It's still the best finish for the men's team in history. Resume Highlights: William Jeffrey (1950 World Cup) USA Manager Tenure: 1950 After the 1930 appearance, the U.S. missed out in the next two editions with the tournament also being on pause during World War II. When the tournament was held in 1950 in Brazil, it was another Scottish-American who was in charge this time. Jeffrey moved to the United States at an early age, growing up in Altoona, Pennsylvania. He became coach of Penn State's soccer team in 1926, a position that he would hold for 27 years. The U.S. Soccer Federation asked Jeffrey to take over managerial duties for the 1950 World Cup. It was at that tournament in Brazil where the U.S. famously beat England, 1-0, in what was considered one of the greatest upsets in World Cup history. Resume Highlights: Bob Gansler (1990 World Cup) USA Manager Tenure: 1989-1991 Gansler is a Hungarian-born American coach who led the U.S. national team at the 1990 World Cup. This was the team's first appearance at the tournament since 1950. His defining moment came before the tournament even began. The high point of his tenure was the upset victory in Trinidad on November 19, 1989, that sent the United States into the World Cup for the first time in 40 years. He took a team made up primarily of college and amateur players, as the United States did not have a top division outdoor soccer league at the time as the North American Soccer League folded in 1985. At the club level, Gansler coached both the Kansas City Wizards of Major League Soccer and the Milwaukee Rampage of the A-League to league titles, and was named MLS Coach of the Year in 2000. Resume Highlights: Bora Milutinovi (1994 World Cup) USA Manager Tenure: 1991-1995 Velibor "Bora" Milutinovi is famous for coaching five different national teams in five straight FIFA World Cup tournaments Mexico in 1986, Costa Rica in 1990, the United States in 1994, Nigeria in 1998, and China in 2002 earning him the nickname "Miracle Worker." With the USA, Milutinovi coached the U.S. at the 1994 World Cup hosted in the United States, where the team recorded its first World Cup win since 1950 and progressed to the knockout round for the first time since the 1930s. His preparation was equally remarkable. Milutinovi combed through the U.S. college system, extended central contracts to 30 players, and set up residency in Southern California, devising a schedule of 91 friendlies to give his newly assembled squad a crash course in international football. Resume Highlights: Steve Sampson (1998 World Cup) USA Manager Tenure: 1994-1998 Steve Sampson stepped in as interim coach after Milutinovi's departure and eventually claimed the job permanently after leading the team to fourth place at the 1995 Copa Amrica. Though he shed the interim tag after that strong Copa Amrica showing, the team's group stage exit at the 1998 World Cup meant he was out of a job soon after. The 1998 campaign in France was a low point for the program as the Americans lost all three group games and scored just one goal, with internal tensions and the controversial exclusion of captain John Harkes adding to the chaos. Despite the disastrous World Cup, Sampson's 26 wins as USMNT head coach place him fifth all-time in program history. Resume Highlights: Bruce Arena (1998 World Cup) USA Manager Tenure: 1998-2006, 2016-2017 Bruce Arena is the most successful coach in United States history by most measures: most international wins, longest home shut-out, and the best World Cup showing since 1930 reaching the quarterfinals at the 2002 World Cup before a narrow defeat to Germany. The journey began with a stunning 3-2 defeat of heavily favored Portugal, Arena's system of high-pressure defense and quick counter-attacks produced an early 3-0 lead, before a famous 2-0 win over rivals Mexico in the Round of 16. In his stint in charge, Arena guided the USA to two Gold Cup crowns in 2002 and 2005. He returned to the job in 2016 after Jrgen Klinsmann was fired in the middle of the World Cup qualifying campaign for the 2018 edition in Russia. Despite winning the 2017 Gold Cup, Arena couldn't get the U.S. into the 2018 World Cup thanks to an infamous loss at Trinidad & Tobago. At the club level, Arena holds a record five MLS Cup titles and shares the all-time record with three MLS Coach of the Year honors. Resume Highlights: Bob Bradley (2010 World Cup) Bob Bradley coached the USA to a second-place finish at the 2009 Confederations Cup (which included a win over powerhouse Spain), a Round of 16 exit at the 2010 World Cup, and the final of the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup before he was fired. His 2010 World Cup run was particularly memorable as the U.S. topped their group for the first time since 1930, powered by Landon Donovan's iconic stoppage-time goal against Algeria. Bradley is one of only three coaches to post a winning percentage over 60% for the U.S. across at least 20 games. Given that he did not have such a great group of players to work with compared to some other coaches, the fact that he is third all-time for wins with 43 is nothing short of remarkable. Resume Highlights: Jrgen Klinsmann (2014 World Cup) USA Manager Tenure: 2011-2016 Klinsmann arrived as one of the most decorated hires in American soccer history. He played for powerhouse clubs like Inter Milan, Tottenham, and Bayern Munich before becoming the manager of the German national team from 2004 to 2006. As the USA's most high-profile head coach before Pochettino, Klinsmann promised a tactical revolution. Though a run to the Round of 16 in the 2014 World Cup was a highlight, things began to come off the rails with defeats to Mexico and Costa Rica in World Cup qualifying, forcing U.S. Soccer to fire him in November 2016 and bringing back Bruce Arena to try and salvage the ill-fated campaign for Russia 2018. Klinsmann's emphasis on recruiting dual nationals and pushing American players to compete abroad had a lasting impact on the program's culture. Resume Highlights: Gregg Berhalter (2022 World Cup) USA Manager Tenure: 20182022, 20232024 Berhalter finished his managerial career with a 68.2% win rate the highest of any manager in team history among those with at least 20 games coached. He guided the USA into a new era, overseeing the rise of what many called the "golden generation" Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie, Tyler Adams, and company. The team won the inaugural CONCACAF Nations League in 2021 with a 3-2 victory over Mexico in the final, and won a third CONCACAF Nations League title in March 2024. His contract lapsed after the 2022 World Cup, but he was re-hired to lead a second World Cup qualifying cycle. However, that was cut short and his tenure ended on a sour note: the U.S. was eliminated in the group stage of the 2024 Copa Amrica, becoming the first host nation not to advance to the knockout stage since the group format was introduced in 1975. Resume Highlights: Mauricio Pochettino (2026 World Cup) USA Manager Tenure: 2024Present Pochettino, appointed in September 2024 on a contract through the 2026 World Cup, serves as the current head coach and the first South American-born manager to lead the team. Pochettino's rsum includes a Ligue 1 title, a Premier League runners-up finish, and a UEFA Champions League final appearance. Pochettino has publicly outlined his objectives for 2026 which is primarily to reach the quarterfinals of the expanded World Cup, at minimum. With a World Cup on home soil and the most talented American generation (led by star forward Christian Pulisic and midfielder Weston McKennie) ever assembled, the pressure, and the opportunity, has never been greater.
