Wow! Details of Pochettino's Manchester United contract revealed
New Manchester United head coach Mauricio Pochettino has signed a long-term contract with the English giants, running until the summer of 2029.
Details: It emerged today that the 54-year-old Argentine coach has completed all the legal formalities with the Manchester United hierarchy. However, he will begin working at the club's Carrington training ground a little later: he will fly to Manchester as soon as the US national team's fixtures against Haiti are over.
The Red Devils' chiefs deliberately opted for a long-term deal, giving Pochettino their full backing and time to oversee a fundamental squad rebuild after the crisis-hit spell under Michael Carrick. As soon as he arrives in England, the Argentine is expected to hold a series of one-on-one talks with the dressing room leaders.
It is worth noting that Mauricio Pochettino has extensive experience in the English Premier League, having previously managed Southampton, Tottenham and London club Chelsea. Since 2024, he has led the US national team, preparing them for the World Cup on home soil.
Reminder: Building on Carrick's work? Manchester United's transfer targets under the new manager revealed!
