MAURICIO POCHETTINO AGREES DEAL TO BECOME MANCHESTER UNITED HEAD COACH
Mauricio Pochettino has agreed a two-and-a-half-year deal to become Manchester United’s next men’s head coach, replacing Michael Carrick after United dismissed the former midfielder with the club sitting 18th in the Premier League. Pochettino is expected to complete the United States’ upcoming Nations League fixtures before beginning work at Old Trafford, with his first United match scheduled away to Liverpool on November 22. The remaining arrangements with U.S. Soccer concern contractual and regulatory formalities, with Pochettino’s U.S. deal reportedly containing a £7 million release clause.
