After deciding to make a managerial change, Manchester United officially confirmed Mauricio Pochettino's appointment as head coach, ending Michael Carrick's tenure with the club.

When the Argentine tactician finishes his duties with the US men's national team on November 18, 2026, he will take over at Old Trafford.

After Pochettino and his coaching staff's international commitments are over, Manchester United and the USSF have agreed to release them, prompting the announcement.

The English club emphasized the Argentine's philosophy as a manager and his ability to develop players when they confirmed the appointment.

The Argentinian's "outstanding record of developing individual players," along with his "high-intensity, attacking style of football," "his dedication to building strong, cohesive teams," and more were highlighted by the club.

With managerial stints at Espanyol, Southampton, Tottenham Hotspur, PSG, and Chelsea under his belt, Pochettino brings a wealth of European experience to Manchester United.

In his five years as Tottenham manager, he elevated the club to perennial Champions League contenders and led them to the tournament final in 2019. This was his crowning achievement while in England.

During his tenure with Paris Saint-Germain, he was also instrumental in the club's domestic success, winning the Coupe de France and Ligue 1.

After getting off to a slow start in the 2026–27 season, Manchester United made another managerial change with his appointment in an effort to get back on track.

As the club gets ready for a new chapter under Pochettino, Carrick, who had previously been an interim manager before returning to the position, has been replaced.

On November 22, the Argentine will likely take on Liverpool in the Premier League for his first big assignment.

The fans of Manchester United are likely to be hoping that he infuses their team with a new level of competitiveness, organization, and offensive ferocity.
