Pochettino to reach 200 matches as Tottenham coach

Wednesday's return leg of the FA Cup last 16 against Newport will mark Mauricio Pochettino's 200th game as a Tottenham Hotspur coach.

The Argentinian tactician's arrival at Spurs in June 2014 has been a reference point for the London club's recent history.

In the 199 matches he has managed so far (140 Premier League, 22 Europa League, 14 FA Cup, 12 Champions League and 11 League Cup), he has achieved 109 wins, 47 draws and 43 defeats.

His 1.88 points-per-game average has surpassed his previous totals at Southampton (1.45 in 2013/14) and Espanyol (1.23 between 2009-12).

Since the moment he put pen to paper on his first Tottenham contract, Pochettino's team has been the third best in the Premier League in terms of points collected (269) behind Manchester City (292) and Chelsea (280).

Spurs have also managed to have the second best scoring record (264) behind the Citizens (308) and have formed the third best defence in the league, having conceded 138 goals (Manchester United 119 and City 137).

Last season his team marked the club's points record (86) in the Premier League, as they finished above their eternal rivals, Arsenal, for the first time since 1995.

Although the 45-year-old has led his side to two consecutive Champions League campaigns for the first time in their history, he has yet to lift domestic silverware.

Moreover, he has become the longest-serving Tottenham Hotspur coach, as he has recently surpassed Harry Redknapp (198 games), as well as Martin Jol (145), Gerry Francis (125), George Graham (103), Glenn Hoddle (89), Andre Villas-Boas (80) and Juande Ramos (54).

Pochettino's contribution to English football has also been celebrated throughout his years on the island, as twelve of his players have already debuted for the country's national team.

During his tenure at the London club he has also contributed to the emergence of players such as Eric Dier, Harry Kane and Dele Alli, and he's already won over the club fans with his loyalty.

Although opposition coaches, such as Jurgen Klopp, have praised his intelligence and coaching quality throughout the years, his transfer dealings have been under scrutiny.

For every successful signing such as a Toby Alderweireld, Dier and Alli, there has also been a poor acquisition such Georges-Kevin N'Koudou, Benjamin Stambouli or Clinton N'Jie.
