Over his six-season managerial career, he has led teams such as Espanyol, Southampton, Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, and the United States men's national team.\n\nPochettino made his mark at Southampton, guiding the team to an eighth-place finish in the 2013/14 Premier League season. His success there led to a move to Tottenham Hotspur in 2014, where he achieved three consecutive top-three finishes in the Premier League between 2015 and 2018, including a second-place finish in the 2016/17 campaign. He also led Spurs to its first UEFA Champions League final in 2019.\n\nPrior to joining Manchester United, Pochettino managed Paris Saint-Germain, where he secured three trophies: the Ligue 1 title, Coupe de France, and Trophée des Champions.
