Manchester United have appointed Mauricio Pochettino as their new head coach, replacing Michael Carrick, who was sacked on Thursday.
The English club announced the appointment in a statement on Friday, saying it had reached an agreement with the United States Soccer Federation for Pochettino to take up the position from November 18.
“Mauricio Pochettino has agreed to become the Manchester United men’s head coach from 18 November.
“The club has reached an agreement with the U.S. Soccer Federation for Mauricio and his staff to be released after the conclusion of their responsibilities with the U.S. Men’s National Team,” the statement said.
Pochettino began his coaching career with Espanyol in 2009 before joining Southampton, where he led the club to a record Premier League points tally in 2014.
He subsequently coached Tottenham Hotspur for five years, guiding the club to four consecutive UEFA Champions League qualifications and the competition’s final in 2019, where they lost to Liverpool.
In 2021, he joined Paris Saint-Germain, winning the Ligue 1 title, Coupe de France and Trophée des Champions before taking charge of Chelsea in 2023.
