Story summary

As of November 14, 2026, Mauricio Pochettino has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract to become the new manager of Manchester United, replacing Michael Carrick who was dismissed after a poor start to the Premier League season. United, currently in 18th place, are undergoing a meeting in Monaco to discuss Carrick's future, ultimately deciding to sack him following just one victory in their first 10 matches, their worst start since the 1986-87 season. Before taking charge of Manchester United, Pochettino will oversee two matches for the US men’s national team against Haiti. Pochettino, known for his emphasis on fitness and tactical discipline, is expected to help revive the struggling club, though he must first bid an emotional farewell to US football.
