Mauricio Pochettino is set to take charge as the new head coach of Manchester United. Following the removal of Michael Carrick, Pochettino is expected to replace him at the helm. The Argentine is currently serving as the head coach of the United States national team. Manchester United are bringing him on board after reaching an agreement with the US Soccer Federation. Pochettino will take charge of the Manchester United first team on November 18.
Pochettino will become Manchester United's eighth manager since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013. Carrick had been handed the permanent job six months ago after impressing during his spell as interim manager. However, United's performances have been far from satisfactory this season. They are currently languishing in 18th place after 10 matches and are facing the threat of relegation. The team have managed to score just one goal so far, while conceding 30 across all competitions.
According to reports in the British media, Manchester United have paid £7 million to bring Pochettino from the United States. All eyes will now be on whether the Argentine tactician can revive the fortunes of the struggling English giants and guide them back to winning ways.
