Mauricio Pochettino appointed Manchester United head coach

Mauricio Pochettino has been confirmed as the new head coach of Manchester United.

The Red Devils have reached an agreement that releases the Argentine manager and his coaching staff from their duties with the United States national team after their two matches against Haiti on Saturday and the following Tuesday.

Pochettino succeeds Michael Carrick, who was dismissed by United on Thursday following the club’s poorest start to a season since 1986.

Before taking the United States role, Pochettino guided the US side to the last 16 of the World Cup on home soil earlier this year. He has also previously managed in the Premier League with Southampton, Tottenham and Chelsea.
