  "account": "Manchester United has appointed Argentine manager Mauricio Pochettino as their new head coach, following the dismissal of Michael Carrick. The Premier League club finds itself in the relegation zone after a dismal start to the season, with only one win and eight points from 10 Premier League games. Pochettino, 54, will lead the team against Haiti in an upcoming match before joining Manchester United. He returns to club football after two years managing the United States men's national team, where he guided them to the last 16 of the World Cup. Pochettino expressed gratitude for the players, fans, and the US Soccer Federation, praising the country's talent pool and future prospects. United's hierarchy hopes Pochettino's experience will stabilize the club, which has struggled with confidence and identity. The Argentine previously managed Southampton and Tottenham Hotspur, leading both to success before a mixed spell at Paris St Germain and Chelsea.",
  "summary": "The USA coach, who has previously managed Tottenham and Chelsea in the Premier League, will take charge from Nov 18.",
