Manchester United have confirmed the appointment of Mauricio Pochettino as head coach, with the Argentine replacing Michael Carrick at Old Trafford.
Pochettino has signed a two-and-a-half year deal, marking his fourth stint in English football following previous spells with Southampton, Tottenham and Chelsea.
Carrick sacked after poor start
Carrick was sacked on Thursday after overseeing a disappointing start to the Premier League season. United sit in the relegation zone after winning just one of their opening 10 matches.
Pochettino to continue with USMNT
Pochettino will not start work as Man United boss straight away, as he is set to continue in his role as USMNT manager for their CONCACAF Nations League two-legged quarter-final against Haiti.
The appointment does mean Pochettino will be in the dugout at Anfield next Sunday to take charge of his first Man United game against bitter rivals Liverpool.
