Manchester United have officially announced Mauricio Pochettino as the club’s new men’s head coach, bringing an end to speculation over who would take charge of the struggling Premier League giants.

The club confirmed the appointment in a statement on Friday, revealing that the Argentine tactician will officially assume his duties on November 18, 2026.

According to the statement, an agreement has been reached with the United States Soccer Federation to release Pochettino and his coaching staff following the conclusion of their responsibilities with the US men’s national team.

Pochettino succeeds Michael Carrick, who was dismissed on Thursday following a disappointing start to the campaign.

The former Tottenham Hotspur, Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea manager arrives at Old Trafford with the responsibility of reviving Manchester United’s fortunes and restoring the club’s competitiveness.

The Red Devils currently occupy 18th position in the Premier League table, having managed just one victory before the November international break.

Pochettino now faces the daunting task of turning around United’s struggling campaign, with supporters hoping his arrival will mark the beginning of a new era at the Theatre of Dreams.
