Manchester United has announced the name of its new coach

Manchester United has officially confirmed the employment of Mauricio Pochettino as head coach. The Argentine replaced Michael Carrick, who was sacked after a series of disappointing results. This is the Red Devils' worst start to the season in forty years - after ten rounds, the team has only one victory, five draws and four defeats.

Pochettino's return to the Islands

The 54-year-old coach returns to club football after two years of working with the United States national team, which he led to the 1/8 finals of this year's World Cup. Although the contract with the American federation was supposed to last until 2030, Manchester United reached an agreement on early termination of the contract.

Pochettino will join the team following the conclusion of the USA's matches in the CONCACAF Nations League in November.

Contract and expectations

The new coach signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Manchester United. He faces a difficult task - rebuilding the team that has disappointed its fans in recent weeks. Particularly painful was the recent 0-3 defeat at Old Trafford against Bournemouth, which clearly showed the scale of the team's problems.
