Man Utd are expected to appoint USA head coach Mauricio Pochettino if they do decide to replace Michael Carrick, according to multiple reports.

With the club currently sitting 18th in the table, the Red Devils need a manager who can come in and deliver results straight away.

Pochettino has proven that he can manage successful teams in the Premier League, but does it take time to implement his ideas?

Press the next page as we look at how he fared in his first 10 games at Tottenham and Chelsea…

Tottenham (4 wins, 2 draws & 4 defeats)

Having arrived at White Hart Lane at the beginning of the 2014/15 season, Pochettino started his reign well with a 1-0 win over West Ham and a 4-0 victory against Queens Park Rangers.

Things took a turn for the worse after he lost 3-0 to Liverpool in his third Premier League game in charge. It led to a run of four matches without a win.

Spurs drew 2-2 against Sunderland, lost 1-0 at home to West Brom. A 1-1 draw against Arsenal away followed.

Despite winning against Southampton 1-0, Pochettino’s side then lost 4-1 to Manchester City and 2-1 to Newcastle before beating Aston Villa 2-1.

Chelsea (3 wins, 3 draws & 4 defeats)

Pochettino was appointed by the Blues before the start of the 2023/24 campaign, following a season where they had finished 12th in the table, having had three different head coaches. The Argentinian, therefore, had to make plenty of changes to stabilise the club.

His reign at Stamford Bridge got off to a rather underwhelming start, drawing 1-1 at home to Liverpool on the opening day before a concerning 3-1 away defeat to West Ham.

Pochettino would only win 1 of his first 6 league fixtures – that came in Gameweek 3 when the Blues won 3-0 at home to newly-promoted Luton Town.

A 0-0 draw against Bournemouth was sandwiched between two 1-0 home defeats to Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa. Back-to-back away wins against Fulham and Burnley steadied the ship, but Pochettino’s men then drew 2-2 at home to Arsenal before losing 2-0 to Brentford on the road.
