Agreement Reached
Mauricio Pochettino has settled terms to take over as Manchester United manager. The former Argentina defender is expected to be confirmed in the position on Friday after Michael Carrick left the club on Thursday. Personal terms are complete on a two-and-a-half year contract at Old Trafford.
Transition Timeline
Pochettino still has obligations with the U.S. Soccer side that involve two games against Haiti before he heads to Manchester. The club expects him at Carrington on Wednesday ahead of his first match in charge against Liverpool at Anfield on Nov. 22. The majority of United's international players are also due back at the training ground that day.
Contract and Support Details
United triggered the release clause in the contract extension Pochettino signed in August. The clause is valued at $10 million, or £7.5m, with another $2m allocated to bring in his staff, including long-time assistant Jesus Perez. The team currently sits 18th in the Premier League table.
