India, Nov. 13 -- Since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013, Manchester United have appointed 8 permanent managers. When including interim and caretaker bosses, 12 different individuals have taken charge across 13 managerial spells. All that change but zero Premier League titles.

Ferguson and his United teams set a high standard and no other manager has lived up to those expectations; none lasting even three full seasons. Now, a 13th individual is all set to take over. On Friday, the club officially confirmed Mauricio Pochettino as their newest permanent head coach.
