It's official! Manchester United announce new head coach

English club Manchester United have officially announced the appointment of 54-year-old Argentine coach Mauricio Pochettino as the team's new head coach.

Details: The Argentine manager replaces sacked Michael Carrick at the helm after the Red Devils' hierarchy terminated his contract following a disastrous start to the season and a string of painful Premier League defeats. The Old Trafford club's chiefs have opted for radical action to turn things around, entrusting a long-term sporting project to an experienced tactician with an impeccable track record in English football.

It is also reported that Pochettino's contract with the “Red Devils” runs until 2029.

Pochettino has already arrived in Manchester and begun assembling his coaching staff. The club's hierarchy expects the arrival of such a respected coach to quickly restore stability in the dressing room, improve discipline and get the Red Devils back in the race for a Champions League place.

It is worth noting that Mauricio Pochettino has plenty of experience of success in the Premier League, having previously managed Southampton, London side Tottenham, with whom he reached the Champions League final, and Chelsea.
