Quick Move to Replace Carrick
Mauricio Pochettino is leaving his post as the head coach of the United States men's national team to become the new Manchester United manager. The official announcement came on Friday, confirming that the experienced coach is returning to English club football.
This major appointment happened very quickly. It took place just over 24 hours after Manchester United made the decision to sack Michael Carrick from the top job. The club acted fast to bring in Pochettino as their next leader.
National Team Commitments First
Although his next destination is set, Pochettino will not walk away from his national team responsibilities immediately. He still has key matches to oversee with his current team before making his full move over to England.
Pochettino will remain in charge of the United States men's national team for their upcoming Concacaf Nations League matches. In those games, he will lead the squad as they play against Haiti.
Experience Back in England
By taking the job at Old Trafford, Pochettino is officially back in the Premier League. He brings a strong coaching background with him, having previously managed top clubs across European football.
In the past, Pochettino has enjoyed successful coaching spells at Tottenham Hotspur, Paris Saint Germain, and Chelsea. Now, he brings that background to Manchester United as he steps into his new role.
Tough First Game Ahead
Pochettino will not have an easy start to his managerial spell in Manchester. His very first game in charge of Manchester United is set for November 22.
That first match will see Manchester United travel to take on their arch rivals Liverpool. It will be a huge first fixture for Pochettino as he begins his time as Manchester United manager.
