Mauricio Pochettino's record against every Premier League club after Man United appointment

Manchester United have appointed Mauricio Pochettino as their new head coach, with the Argentine replacing Michael Carrick, who was sacked on Thursday after the club's worst-ever start to a Premier League season left them in the relegation zone. The 54-year-old, who led the United States to the 2026 World Cup, where they topped Group D before a 4-1 last-16 defeat to Belgium, has nowsigned for the Red Devilson a deal that runs until the summer of 2029.

With Old Trafford the seventh senior post of amanagerial careerthat began at Espanyol in January 2009, Pochettino returns to club football for the first time since leaving Chelsea by mutual consent in May 2024. Having also managed Southampton and Tottenham Hotspur, Pochettino arrives at Old Trafford with a wealth of Premier League experience ahead of his first game in charge, a daunting trip to Liverpool on Sunday, November 22.

With that in mind, Sports Mole takes a look at Pochettino's record against every club in the current Premier League, as well as the sides he is yet to come up against. All three of those top-flight victories came with Spurs, while his last top-flight meeting with the Gunners ended in a 5-0 thrashing as Chelsea boss in April 2024.

Aston Villa Pochettino has a solid Premier League record against Aston Villa, winning four, drawing two and losing three of his nine meetings with them in the competition. Three of those top-flight triumphs came with Tottenham, including a 3-1 victory on the opening weekend of 2019-20, but he failed to beat Villa in two Premier League attempts with Chelsea.

Bournemouth Bournemouth have been among Pochettino's favourite Premier League opponents, with seven wins, two draws and just one defeat in 10 top-flight meetings. The Argentine's sides have so far scored 24 Premier League goals against the Cherries and conceded only four, including a 5-1 away win in 2015 and a 5-0 Boxing Day rout in 2018.

Brentford Brentford are the only current Premier League side Pochettino has faced in the competition and never beaten. Both Premier League meetings came during his season at Chelsea, with the Bees winning 2-0 in October 2023 before the sides drew 2-2 in March 2024.

Brighton & Hove Albion Pochettino boasts an impressive Premier League record against Brighton, winning five of his seven top-flight meetings with the Seagulls, including both with Chelsea. The 54-year-old's only Premier League defeat to Brighton came in a 3-0 loss in October 2019, just weeks before his Tottenham exit.

Chelsea Pochettino faced Chelsea 13 times in the Premier League before managing them, winning five, drawing two and losing six. The standout league result was Tottenham's 5-3 victory on New Year's Day 2015, while the infamous 2-2 Premier League draw at Stamford Bridge in May 2016 ended Spurs' title hopes.

Crystal Palace No club in this season's Premier League has lost to Pochettino more often in the competition than Crystal Palace, who have managed one draw and one win in 15 top-flight meetings with him. The Argentine's sides have beaten Palace in 11 successive top-flight games, and his 2.67 Premier League points per game against them is his best against any club he has faced more than six times in the competition.
