Manchester United has announced the appointment of Mauricio Pochettino as their new manager after the recent firing of Michael Carrick. The club informed that an agreement has been reached with the U.S. soccer federation for Pochettino and his staff to be released after completing their duties with the U.S. men’s national team.
Pochettino, who has previously managed teams such as Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea in the Premier League, will officially take charge starting November 18. The club noted that the Argentinian is well-known for his high-intensity, attacking style of football, along with his ability to foster strong, cohesive teams and develop individual players.
This managerial change comes as Manchester United finds itself in a challenging position in the Premier League, currently sitting in the relegation zone with only one victory in their last ten matches.
