  "account": "Manchester United has appointed Mauricio Pochettino as their new head coach, effectively leaving his position with the U.S. national team. The Argentine coach will take over a struggling side currently facing relegation after just 10 games in the Premier League. Pochettino has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract and is set to officially assume his role on November 18, prior to their upcoming match against Liverpool. The 54-year-old is known for his high-intensity, attacking style of play, dedication to building cohesive teams, and ability to develop individual players. He has consistently performed at the highest level of football across multiple leagues. His appointment comes shortly after the dismissal of Michael Carrick, who was tasked with reviving United's fortunes following their worst league start in 40 years, placing them 18th in the Premier League. Pochettino, who took over the U.S. team in 2024, led them to the round of 16 during the recent World Cup. The U.S. Soccer Federation will likely explore Pep Guardiola's availability and consider promoting Steve Cherundolo, United States' Under-23 coach, to the senior team.",
