Mauricio Pochettino's move from the US men's national team to Manchester United has been confirmed. He has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract to take over from Michael Carrick, who was sacked on Thursday.
Pochettino will first guide the US through a pair of Concacaf Nations League matches on Saturday and Tuesday. His first game for United is scheduled to be away at Liverpool next Sunday.
United paid the US federation approximately $10m (£7.5m) to secure Pochettino's services, along with an additional fee for his long-time assistants. The club reportedly sought a more experienced coach, with Pochettino's long-term record of player development and clear philosophy appealing to the leadership group.
United are currently in the Premier League's relegation zone, having won one of their past 11 games. Carrick was dismissed after leading the team to their worst start to a season in four decades.
