Manchester United Appoint Mauricio Pochettino as Head Coach
Manchester United have appointed Mauricio Pochettino as head coach on a deal to 2029 after the US Federation approved his exit. See when he takes charge.
Manchester United have found their new head coach. According to trusted reports, Mauricio Pochettino has reached a full agreement to take over at Old Trafford, with the deal now considered done.
Contract until 2029
The Argentine is said to have accepted all of United's terms on Wednesday. His contract is reported to run for two and a half years, keeping him at the club until 2029. Crucially, the US Soccer Federation, where Pochettino is currently in charge of the men's national team, has given its approval, clearing the biggest obstacle to the move.
USMNT duty first, then Old Trafford
Pochettino will not walk into the Carrington dugout straight away. He is expected to lead the United States during the upcoming international break before officially beginning his work with the Red Devils once that window closes.
The former Tottenham and Chelsea boss knows the Premier League inside out, and he also coached Paris Saint-Germain in France. United supporters will hope his experience and his reputation for developing young players can give the club fresh direction and mark the start of a new era in Manchester.
