The Inside Story of Manchester United’s Move for Mauricio Pochettino – WTOP News
The club moved after a break clause in Pochettino's U.S. contract and poor results that left United 18th with one win in 10 games.
- Manchester United finalized the appointment of Mauricio Pochettino on Thursday, replacing Michael Carrick after the club identified a break clause in Pochettino's United States men's national team contract.
- With only one win in 10 games, the 20-time English champion sits 18th in the standings. A person with knowledge of the decision-making process said the results were simply "not acceptable for Manchester United."
- After a meeting in Monaco on Wednesday, chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox recommended the change and formally approached the United States soccer federation to secure Pochettino's release.
- Barring a late hitch, Pochettino's first game will be against Liverpool on Nov. 22. The Argentine coach previously managed Paris Saint-Germain, Tottenham, and Chelsea in 2023-24.
- The club has not won the Premier League title since 2013, falling behind rivals like Manchester City and Arsenal. Pochettino now faces the challenge of re-energizing a team that has struggled to regain its former dominance.
