The Argentine has agreed to become Unitedâs new head coach after the club reached an agreement with the United States Soccer Federation to release him and his staff from their international duties.
He will succeed Michael Carrick, who was dismissed following a poor start to the Premier League campaign.
Pochettinoâs long-time assistant Jesus Perez is expected to be part of the move. The Spaniard first worked with him at Espanyol, initially as an analyst, before becoming his assistant when Pochettino took charge of Southampton in 2013. He has remained alongside the Argentine throughout his subsequent managerial career.
Miguel DâAgostino is also expected to join United. The pair previously played together at Newellâs Old Boys in Argentina, and DâAgostino later became a scout on Pochettinoâs staff at Espanyol before following him between clubs.
Goalkeeping coach Antonio âToniâ Jimenez is another familiar figure. He first linked up with Pochettino at Espanyol in 2011 and has continued to work with him at subsequent clubs and with the US national team.
The fourth member of the expected group is Sebastiano Pochettino, the managerâs son. He began working within his fatherâs staff at Tottenham and has continued in a sports science role.
Pochettinoâs preference to bring his established team reflects the importance he places on continuity and trusted working relationships. Perez and DâAgostino have been central to his coaching operation, while Jimenez and Sebastiano provide specialist support.
Manchester United confirmed on 13 November that Pochettino would take charge from 18 November, after completing his responsibilities with the United States. He is due to oversee the Americansâ two Nations League matches against Haiti before travelling to Manchester.
His first match in charge is expected to be the Premier League meeting with Liverpool at Anfield on 22 November. The appointment represents a significant change at Old Trafford, with Pochettino arriving alongside the people he has relied on throughout his career.
