Manchester United have reached an agreement with Argentine coach Mauricio Pochettino to take over as head coach from November 18, after ending his association with the coaching staff of the US national team.


The club stated in its announcement: "The club has reached an agreement with the U.S. Soccer Federation to allow the coach and his staff to leave after completing their duties with the national team during the current international break."


The Argentine coach is known for his attacking style based on high pressing, as well as his focus on building cohesive teams and developing players' potential. He also has extensive coaching experience in several of the strongest European leagues.


Pochettino began his coaching career with RCD Espanyol Barcelona in 2009, before moving to Southampton, where he led the team to achieve their best points tally in history in the Premier League at that time in 2014.


The Argentine coach took charge of Tottenham, spending five full seasons with the club. During this time, he successfully established the team's position among the contenders for qualification to the UEFA Champions League, leading them to participate in the tournament four consecutive times. He also guided them to the Final for the first time in their history in 2019.


In 2021, the coach moved to Paris Saint-Germain, winning Ligue 1, Coupe de France, and Campeones Cup before taking on a new challenge with Chelsea in 2023. His last stint was with the US national team, which he led to the Round of 16 in the FIFA World Cup, and he is now set to begin a new challenge with Manchester United.
