Manchester United have officially announced Mauricio Pochettino as the club’s new head coach, following the dismissal of Michael Carrick.
The Premier League giants confirmed the appointment in a statement released on Friday, announcing that the Argentine tactician would officially take charge of the team from November 18.
According to the club, an agreement has been reached with the United States Soccer Federation to release Pochettino and his coaching staff after they complete their responsibilities with the US men’s national team.
“Mauricio Pochettino has agreed to become the Manchester United men’s head coach from 18 November.
“The club has reached an agreement with the U.S. Soccer Federation for Mauricio and his staff to be released after the conclusion of their responsibilities with the U.S. Men’s National Team,” the statement read.
Pochettino replaces Michael Carrick, who was dismissed on Thursday following the club’s disappointing start to the campaign.
Manchester United currently occupy 18th position on the Premier League table as the November international break begins, having managed just one victory in the competition.
The former Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea manager is expected to lead the club’s efforts to turn around its disappointing league campaign.
