Manchester United confirmed its agreement with Mauricio Pochettino to become the men’s head coach on 13 November. The club sets 18 November as his starting date, so the announcement of the agreement precedes his taking up the role.

United says it has reached an agreement with the U.S. Soccer Federation for Pochettino and his staff to be released after completing their responsibilities with the American national team.

The Argentinian returns to English football after previous spells with Southampton, Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea. He led Tottenham to the Champions League final in 2019 and, most recently, the United States to the World Cup round of 16, as the club recalls.
