Manchester United near Pochettino deal despite open details
Manchester United is on the verge of appointing Mauricio Pochettino as the new head coach. The 54‑year‑old Argentinian is set to replace Michael Carrick, who will be dismissed after a critical season.
Worrying season decline forces change
As reported by Catherine Ivill, Manchester United is in a concerning season that could almost end in a dramatic coaching change. The Red Devils have therefore decided to pull the plug and relieve Michael Carrick of his position. The industry is now awaiting official confirmation.
Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano announced that the decision on the successor has already been made. The initially mentioned candidates included former national team coach Julian Nagelsmann and Sebastian Hoeneß of VfB Stuttgart. After Ralf Rangnick, there will probably be no German manager on United’s sidelines for the time being.
Man Utd face clash between Dyche stability and Pochettino hype
According to Romano, the choice finally fell on the Argentinian Mauricio Pochettino, who is contractually bound as the US national team coach until 2030. The former defensive star has been under contract in the United States since September 2024 and has already gained Premier League experience. Before his US stint he coached Southampton, Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea.
Romano emphasized that “the deal is getting closer”, but final details and the parties’ final agreement are still pending. The green light from Man Utd chief Ratcliffe is still missing, but Romano is convinced that Pochettino will become the Red Devils’ new manager.
