Chelsea are reportedly closing in on the appointment of Mauricio Pochettino as the club’s new manager.
The former Tottenham boss is thought to have impressed Chelsea owner Todd Boehly and the board during talks, with Pochettino having seemingly beaten off competition from the likes of Julian Nagalesmann and Luis Enrique.
The Argentine is currently unattached having been out of work since leaving PSG last summer.
But exactly how many trophies did he collect during his spell in the French capital?
Let’s take a peak inside Pochettino’s PSG trophy cabinet.
How many trophies did Mauricio Pochettino win with PSG?
Pochettino won three domestic titles with PSG during his 18 month spell in charge between January 2021 and July 2022.
The 51 year-old, who succeeded Thomas Tuchel in the Parisian hot seat, won the first title of his managerial career just 11 days into his job courtesy of a 2-1 win over Marseille in the French Super Cup.
A second cup arrived at the end of the season, with Pochettino guiding PSG to a 2-0 French Cup victory over Monaco at the Stade de France.
Pochettino’s first season in charge would ultimately be seen as underwhelming, however, with the French giants missing out on the Ligue 1 title by one point to Lille.
PSG did regain the league title in Pochettino’s one and only full season in charge, finishing 15 points clear of second-placed Marseille with 26 wins from their 38 fixtures.
But this was not enough for PSG’s Qatari owners, who parted company with the South American at the end of the season.
Part of the reason why Pochettino was sacked was because of his failure to land the club’s elusive Champions League trophy.
PSG were defeated in both legs of their semi-final against Manchester City in Pochettino’s first season, before blowing a 2-0 aggregate lead over Real Madrid in the Round of 16 the following year.
Pochettino finished up with a 66% win record in all competitions following his year and a half in charge.
