Mauricio Pochettino arrives at Manchester United with experience across six teams, 685 managerial matches and three major trophies as he takes on the task of reviving the struggling Premier League club.

The Argentine was appointed Man United’s head coach on Friday, replacing Michael Carrick, who was dismissed following the club’s poor start to the 2026/27 season.

United confirmed that Pochettino and his backroom staff would join the club after completing their responsibilities with the United States men’s national team.

His appointment comes with the Red Devils 18th in the Premier League, having recorded just one win and eight points from their opening 10 matches.

Figures published by Transfermarkt show that Pochettino has managed 685 matches, winning 337, drawing 146 and losing 202, giving him an overall win rate of 49.2 per cent.

The 54-year-old has managed six teams during his senior coaching career: Spanish side Espanyol, English clubs Southampton, Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea, French giants Paris Saint-Germain, and the United States national team.

He began his managerial career at Espanyol in January 2009, spending almost four years at the club before moving to Southampton in January 2013.

At Southampton, Pochettino made an immediate impression in the Premier League, guiding the club to eighth place in the 2013/14 season with 56 points, matching its best finish in the competition at the time.

His performances earned him the Tottenham job in 2014, where he enjoyed the most notable period of his coaching career.
