Mauricio Pochettino is leaving his post as head coach of the U.S. men's national soccer team to take charge of Manchester United, according to The Guardian's report, which said the switch has been confirmed. The paper also reported that Pochettino will guide the U.S. team through two more matches before taking up his role with the club.
The Guardian reported that Pochettino has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with United. Before he joins the club, he will guide the U.S. team through a pair of Concacaf Nations League matches, one on Saturday and one on Tuesday. His first game for United is set to come at Liverpool next Sunday, the paper said.
NPR also reported that Pochettino is out as head coach of the U.S. men's national team and is departing to coach Manchester United. NPR noted that he led the U.S. to the round of 16 at the World Cup.
The two outlets agree on the core facts: Pochettino is moving from the U.S. team to United. The summaries available for both reports do not explain the reason for the change, and neither names a replacement for the U.S. team. This account is based on the summaries of both reports.
The Guardian's summary describes the Saturday and Tuesday matches as Pochettino's final two games in charge of the U.S. side. NPR's summary does not address those matches.
