Manchester United Appoint Mauricio Pochettino as New Head Coach
Mauricio Pochettino is the new head coach of Manchester United. The former Tottenham, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain boss will finish his last two games as USA manager before moving to Manchester.
United let Michael Carrick go while the club was in the Premier League relegation zone.
Pochettino will start his new job on Wednesday, after leading the USA in their games against Haiti. He has signed a contract that runs until the summer of 2029.
He will meet his new players and lead his first training session on Thursday. His first match as manager will be against Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday, November 22.

In their statement about Pochettino’s appointment, Manchester United praised the Argentinian for his “high-intensity, attacking style of football, his dedication to building strong, cohesive teams and his outstanding record of developing individual players”.
“Pochettino has consistently performed at the highest level of football across multiple leagues,” the club added.
Pochettino has not yet won a major trophy in England. He took Tottenham to a League Cup final and a Champions League final, and later won the French Cup and Ligue 1 at PSG.
Carrick was dismissed after the club’s worst-ever start to a Premier League season, which left United in the relegation zone after 10 matches.
