Pochettino Takes Charge at Manchester United Amid Struggles

Mauricio Pochettino has been appointed as the head coach of Manchester United, replacing Michael Carrick, who was dismissed due to the club's poor performance at the start of the 2026/27 season. Pochettino's managerial experience spans 685 matches across six teams, achieving 337 wins, 146 draws, and 202 losses, resulting in a win rate of 49.2 percent.

He has previously managed clubs including Espanyol, Southampton, Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, and the United States men’s national team. His notable achievements include leading Tottenham to three consecutive top-three finishes in the Premier League and reaching the UEFA Champions League final in 2019.

At PSG, he won three major trophies: Ligue 1, Coupe de France, and Trophée des Champions. Pochettino's appointment comes as Manchester United sits 18th in the Premier League, with only one win and eight points from ten matches.

He will join the club after fulfilling his duties with the United States national team.
