Mauricio Pochettino’s switch from USA to Manchester United confirmed
United are paying a reported $10 million release clause for Pochettino, who is expected to bring structure and youth development to a struggling squad.
- On Friday, Manchester United appointed Mauricio Pochettino as head coach following Michael Carrick's dismissal. Pochettino will officially join the club on November 18 after completing his duties with the United States Men's National Team.
- Carrick was dismissed on Thursday after the club fell to 18th in the Premier League with just one victory in 10 matches. Internal reviews determined the results were unacceptable and a change had to be made.
- United triggered a $10 million release clause in Pochettino's contract with U.S. Soccer to secure his services. He will remain in charge for the United States' Concacaf Nations League matches against Haiti on November 14 and 18.
- Pochettino will report to Carrington on November 18 to begin preparations with minimal time before United's trip to Anfield. His first match in charge comes on November 22 against Liverpool in a challenging Premier League debut.
- The United States Soccer Federation is searching for Pochettino's successor, with former Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola reportedly identified as the federation's top target. The federation has months to finalize its decision before competitive matches resume in March 2027.
