Mauricio Pochettino: Trophies won as manager

Mauricio Pochettino won three managerial trophies while at Paris Saint-Germain, including the Trophee des Champions victory over Marseille in Lens after three games in charge at PSG. He also took Tottenham Hotspur to the 2018–19 UEFA Champions League final and secured a second-place finish in the 2016–17 Premier League.

Pochettino is an Argentine coach with experience at multiple elite European clubs and a record of accomplishment that is often compared to figures such as Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola, who have essentially won every competition imaginable. Critics and observers have judged his success against the contexts of the clubs he managed, noting that major trophies have been limited relative to those peers. His managerial career has included spells in England and France as well as a move into international management.

At Tottenham Hotspur Pochettino did not win a trophy; his best league performance was finishing second in the 2016–17 Premier League after spending more than five seasons on the North London team’s dugout. He also led the club to the 2018–19 UEFA Champions League final, which remains one of the high points of his tenure at Spurs.

In his only season with Chelsea, Pochettino reached the English League Cup final, finishing as runner-up; the club dismissed him after that campaign despite indications, in the source's words, that he "had the Blues headed in the right direction" before his firing.

Pochettino is now in charge of the USA men's football team and his impact was visible at the international tournament, with the United States achieving a decent finish at the FIFA World Cup 2026 before they lost to Belgium. That World Cup performance led to the former Spurs manager receiving a new contract to continue with the national team.

Despite the renewed deal with the United States, Pochettino is linked with several clubs, among them Manchester United, who are reportedly keeping an eye on a potential appointment; he will continue in his role with the national team under his new contract.
