Manchester United announced on Friday that it has appointed Argentine coach Mauricio Pochettino as the club’s new manager on a contract running until 2029. In an official statement, Manchester United said: “Mauricio Pochettino has agreed to take up the role of head coach starting from November 18.” The club added: “Manchester United has reached an agreement with the United States Soccer Federation to allow Pochettino and his coaching staff to leave after completing their duties with the US national team.” Manchester United, who have struggled in the English Premier League, announced on Thursday the dismissal of their manager, Michael Carrick, following a disappointing start to the season. Carrick managed only one victory in his first ten league matches in his first full season in charge, leaving Manchester United in the relegation zone and increasing pressure on the former midfielder. The club secured just three wins from 15 matches across all competitions under Carrick’s leadership this season, including only one league victory, leaving them in 18th place with eight points after 10 matches, just one point above the bottom spot.
