Pochettino Takes Helm at Manchester United!

Mauricio Pochettino has officially been appointed as the new head coach of Manchester United's men's first team. The Argentine is scheduled to formally assume his duties on November 18, 2026. This appointment follows an agreement between the Old Trafford board and the United States Soccer Federation to release him from his current contract.

Pochettino and his coaching staff will join Manchester United after completing their international commitments with the US national team. The club is betting on his signature high-intensity, attacking style and focus on player development to improve the team's performance.

With a notable career in top-level European football, Pochettino's previous roles include managing Espanyol, Southampton, and Tottenham Hotspur, where he guided the team to the Champions League final in 2019. He also achieved Ligue 1 success with Paris Saint-Germain and managed Chelsea before leading the United States to the round of 16 in the most recent World Cup.
