Mauricio Pochettino, the former head coach of the U.S. national team, has been appointed as the new head coach of Manchester United, effective immediately. The former Argentine, who was once a part of the U.S. Soccer Federation's staff, announced his departure from the team next week to take up the role at Old Trafford. Pochettino's appointment comes as the English football club is currently struggling, having lost their first ten matches of the Premier League season and currently sitting in the relegation zone.
The 54-year-old will take over the team ahead of their upcoming match against Liverpool on November 22. This move marks Pochettino's eighth permanent coaching position since Alex Ferguson's retirement in 2013, following the dismissal of the club's previous coach, Michael Carrick. As of now, Manchester United stands 18th in the English Premier League table.
