Capped 20 times by Argentina - and famously the man who "brought down" Michael Owen in a 2002 World Cup tie with England - Pochettino controversially replaced Nigel Adkins as Southampton manager in January 2013. Scepticism quickly dissipated, however, as the new boss brought in an attacking, high-tempo brand of football and helped develop young talent, including Luke Shaw, Jay Rodriguez and Adam Lallana. Successful spell on the south coast led to his appointment as Tottenham manager in May 2014 and he led them to the Champions League Final five years later. However, a poor start to the 2019/20 season saw him sacked and replaced by Jose Mourinho.
