"The leading candidate for Manchester United's new manager" has made a decision after reports of replacing "Carrick," with only two steps remaining.
On 11 Nov 2026 GMT+7, renowned reporter Fabrizio Romano reported the latest on Manchester United's managerial change. Following a meeting of the club's owners in Monaco, the decision was made to dismiss Michael Carrick from his position today.
Romano stated, "Mauricio Pochettino has agreed to Manchester United's project. The deal is getting closer to reality. Pochettino wants to take the Manchester United job and is now waiting for the club to formally submit the request to the relevant football federation."
"Pochettino is ready to immediately resign from his position as U.S. national team coach to move to Manchester United. If all goes according to plan, a $10 million (7.4 million pounds) contract release fee will be paid. It is expected that Michael Carrick will be dismissed from his position."
Meanwhile, Den Massey, a journalist from leading sports outlet Sky Sports, reported similarly: "A preliminary verbal agreement has been reached between Manchester United and Mauricio Pochettino for him to become the club's new head coach."
"This means everything is nearly settled for the Argentine coach to replace Michael Carrick, with the club eager to complete the process quickly."
"Although some details remain to be agreed upon between the club and Pochettino's team, both sides are determined to make this deal happen."
