Follow usThe club from Old Trafford have officially confirmed the hiring of Mauricio Pochettino as their new manager after the sacking of Michael Carrick. The ex-Spurs and Chelsea head coach will leave his role with the American men’s national team to take the job at Manchester United later in November.
The Argentinian takes over a team that stands at the moment in the relegation zone of the EPL. Mauricio has inked a 2-and-a-half-year deal with the Red Devils. Manchester United moved quickly to secure him after dismissing Carrick yesterday, ending Michael’s period as permanent head coach after only 1 victory in 10 Premier League games this campaign.
Pochettino will remain at the helm of the USMNT during the international break and lead the team twice vs. Haiti, and after that will travel to Manchester to begin his journey with the Red Devils.
Man United revealed that he will officially take over from Carrick on November 18th. The Red Devils will pay the Argentinian release clause for him to leave the USMNT immediately, as he had a contract with the U.S. Men’s National Team until 2030.
Today, @ussoccer has announced that Mauricio Pochettino will depart his role as head coach of the USMNT to become the head coach of @ManUtd.
Pochettino and his staff will continue to coach the two upcoming Concacaf Nations League matches vs. Haiti.
