Manchester United have appointed Argentine manager, Mauricio Pochettino as new head coach.
The appointment brings to an end the search for a replacement for Michael Carrick, who left the club on Thursday.
The Premier League giants confirmed the appointment on Friday, announcing that Pochettino would officially take charge on November 18 after completing his remaining international commitments with the United States men’s national team.
The agreement was reached with the United States Soccer Federation to release the 54-year-old Argentine and his coaching staff following their responsibilities with the national team.
Pochettino is joining th club with considerable Premier League experience, having previously managed Southampton, Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea.
In a statement on Friday, United described the Argentine as a manager renowned for his high-intensity, attacking football, his ability to build cohesive teams and his record of improving individual players.
Man United are 18th in the Premier League after getting just eight points from their opening 10 matches, with only one league victory recorded during that run. They have also managed just three wins in their last 15 matches across all competitions.
The Argentine began his managerial career at Espanyol in 2009 before moving to Southampton, where he made an immediate impression by guiding the club to a then-record Premier League points tally in 2014.
