Mauricio Pochettino is leaving the United States men’s national team to take the head coaching job at Manchester United.
The Red Devils finalized a deal to hire the Argentine tactician away from the USMNT after sacking Michael Carrick, sources told The Athletic’s Adam Crafton and David Ornstein.
Pochettino will reportedly sign a two-and-a-half-year contract that runs until the summer of 2029.
Man United could announce Pochettino’s arrival as early as Friday, according to Crafton and Ornstein.
The fallen Premier League giants fired Carrick on Thursday after a dismal start to the season that’s left the club languishing in the relegation zone. Man United, sitting 18th in England’s top flight, have just one victory from their opening 10 matches of the league campaign, marking their worst start to a season in 40 years.
