Mauricio Pochettino will become Manchester United’s head coach on 18 November, replacing Michael Carrick, who was dismissed earlier this week after a poor run of results.
United said the 54-year-old Argentine and his staff would leave their posts with the United States national team after completing their commitments. The US are due to play Haiti in a Nations League match on Saturday.
Pochettino is taking over a side that, under Carrick, had won just one of its first 10 Premier League matches. United are 18th in the table. BBC Sport had previously reported that Pochettino was a leading contender to replace Carrick, but the appointment had not then been confirmed.
