Mauricio Pochettino returns to management as coach of World XI at Soccer Aid

Mauricio Pochettino has made his long-awaited return to management with the Argentinian taking over as coach of the World XI at Soccer Aid.

The former Southampton and Tottenham boss has been out of work since leaving Ligue 1 champions Paris St Germain last July.

Pochettino is set to be confirmed as Chelsea manager in the near future, but his return to the dugout will come at Old Trafford rather than Stamford Bridge.

The 51-year-old has been confirmed as manager of the World XI against England at Soccer Aid for Unicef on June 12 in the north west.

“I am really looking forward to getting involved in Soccer Aid this year and managing the World XI,” Pochettino said.

“It is a real pleasure to be part of a match that represents a big cultural moment in this country’s annual calendar – and rightly so, because it raises so much money for Unicef.

“I love English football stadiums, the passion the fans show for the game and the atmosphere they create, so it will be great to feel that again next month.”

Pochettino will coach former Argentina team-mates Gabriel Batistuta and Hernan Crespo in the Old Trafford encounter.

Old Trafford Sunday 11 June
