Mauricio Pochettino has become the head coach of Manchester United.

He was forced to leave the United States national team.

As a result, the Argentine could not hide his sadness:

"It is difficult for me to speak now because I am a very emotional person.

This is a sad decision and the most difficult one of my entire career.”

"Usually, it is the other way around, because you are dismissed... This time it was difficult, and everything happened quickly.

We are professionals and we try to fulfill our dreams.”

Manchester United parted ways with head coach Michael Carrick.

Mauricio Pochettino signed a contract until the summer of 2029.

With the United States national team, he reached the Round of 16 at the FIFA World Cup.
