Mauricio Pochettino has agreed to take charge of Manchester United’s men’s first team as head coach, starting on 18 November.
An agreement has been reached with the U.S. Soccer Federation to release Pochettino and his coaching staff following the completion of their duties with the U.S. Men’s National Team.
The Argentine manager is widely recognised for his high-intensity, attack-minded football, his ability to build strong and well-organised teams, and his impressive track record of developing individual talent.
Throughout his career, Pochettino has consistently competed at the highest level across several major European leagues. He began his managerial journey at Espanyol in 2009 before moving to Southampton, where he guided the club to a record Premier League points total in 2014.
During his five full seasons at Tottenham Hotspur, he transformed the club into regular UEFA Champions League contenders, securing qualification for the competition in four consecutive seasons and guiding Spurs to their first-ever Champions League final in 2019.
In 2021, Pochettino took over at Paris Saint-Germain, winning the Ligue 1 title, the Coupe de France and the Trophée des Champions. He subsequently moved to Chelsea in 2023.
