Pochettino Takes Over as Manchester United Head Coach

Manchester United announced that Mauricio Pochettino will become the club's head coach starting November 18. Pochettino, currently the manager of the U.S.

Men's National Team, will step down from that role to take over at Old Trafford. The club confirmed that it has reached an agreement with the U.S.

Soccer Federation to secure Pochettino's release and that of his staff after they complete their responsibilities with the national team. Pochettino's appointment follows the sacking of Michael Carrick and marks him as the 12th manager for Manchester United in 12 years.
