Аргентин мэргэжилтэн Манчестер Юнайтед багтай хоёр жил хагасын хугацаатай гэрээ байгуулж, 11 дүгээр сарын 18-наас албан ёсоор ажилдаа орохоор боллоо.
Манчестер Юнайтед пүрэв гарагт Майкл Каррикийг ажлаас нь чөлөөлсний дараа Маурисио Почеттиног шинэ ерөнхий дасгалжуулагчаар томилсноо албан ёсоор зарлав. Почеттино АНУ-ын эрэгтэйчүүдийн шигшээ багийн дасгалжуулагчийн үүргээ гүйцэтгэсний дараа буюу 11 дүгээр сарын 18-нд шинэ багтайгаа нэгдэх юм. Тэрээр 11 дүгээр сарын 22-нд Ливерпүүл багийн талбайд зочлох Премьер лигийн тоглолтод анх удаа багаа удирдан оролцоно.
Клубийн зүгээс гаргасан албан ёсны мэдэгдэлд Почеттиног сонгосон таван үндсэн шалтгааныг дурджээ. Түүнийг довтолгооны эрчимтэй хэв маяг, багийг нэгдмэл байлгах чадвар, хувь тоглогчдыг хөгжүүлэх онцгой ур чадвар болон олон лигт өндөр түвшинд тогтмол амжилт үзүүлсэн туршлага нь шийдвэрлэх хүчин зүйл болсон байна.
Почеттиногийн АНУ-ын шигшээ багтай байгуулсан гэрээг цуцлахын тулд Манчестер Юнайтед ойролцоогоор 10 сая долларын нөхөн олговор төлөхөөр болжээ. Тэрээр АНУ-ын шигшээ багийг 2026 оны Дэлхийн аварга шалгаруулах тэмцээний шөвгийн 16-д шалгаруулсан ч Бельгийн багт 4-1-ийн харьцаатай хожигдож тэмцээнээ өндөрлөсөн билээ.
Манчестер Юнайтед энэ улирлын Премьер лигийн эхний 10 тоглолтын дараа 8 оноотойгоор хүснэгтийн 18 дугаар байрт бичигдэж байна. Эх сурвалжийн мэдээлснээр, тус томилгоог клубийн хувьцаа эзэмшигч Жим Рэтклифф дэмжсэн боловч шийдвэрийг Глэйзерийн гэр бүл голлон гаргасан бөгөөд хөлбөмбөгийн захирал Жейсон Уилкокс Эдди Хауг илүүд үзэж байжээ.

Manchester United have confirmed the appointment of Mauricio Pochettino as their new head coach – and their official statement outlines five reasons for his arrival.
Pochettino will officially take charge of United on November 18 after fulfilling his final duties as head coach of the United States men’s national team (USMNT). The Argentine will replace Michael Carrick after the 46-year-old was sacked on Thursday, and he has signed a two-and-a-half year contract.
His first game in charge will be the Premier League clash away to Liverpool on November 22.
Man Utd issue statement on Mauricio Pochettino
In an official club statement, United say they have reached an agreement for Mauricio and his backroom staff – which, though unconfirmed, appears likely to include his long-time assistant Jesus Perez – to leave their roles with the USMNT following the conclusion of the upcoming pair of CONCACAF Nations League quarter-final ties against Haiti.
The statement then goes into detail on Pochettino‘s key strengths, and why United have ultimately decided to choose him to replace Carrick at the helm.
“The Argentinian is renowned for his high-intensity, attacking style of football, his dedication to bringing strong, cohesive teams and his outstanding record of developing individual players,” it reads.
“Pochettino has consistently performed at the highest level of football across multiple leagues.”
When Mauricio Pochettino will speak for the first time as Man Utd manager
Pochettino is scheduled to take part in a press conference on Friday in his role as USMNT manager, previewing the upcoming games against Haiti.
And although he will inevitably be asked questions about his upcoming new position at United, his first official engagement with the club will not take place until he has travelled to Manchester ahead of the Liverpool clash.
The 54-year-old will be in the dugout at Anfield for what will be his fourth stint at a Premier League club, having previously taken charge of Southampton, Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea.
According to talkSPORT, minority co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe endorsed the appointment of Pochettino but it is said to have been driven by the Glazer family, with director of football Jason Wilcox known to have preferred the arrival of Eddie Howe instead. Talks between Pochettino and the United ownership are said to have taken place in as early as October.
During his time in charge of the USMNT, Pochettino led them to the last 16 stage of the 2026 World Cup before they were defeated 4-1 by Belgium.
He initially made the move into international management on a contract until the end of the World Cup, which was extended by a further four years in August. The new deal meant that United had to pay a compensation fee of around $10 million (£7.4m) to release him from his contract; they would have been able to get Pochettino for no extra fee had they acted during the summer.
The Argentine will take charge of a United side who sit in 18th in the Premier League table, having picked up only eight points and one win from their opening 10 matches of the 2026/27 season.
