We left Mauricio Pochettino in a strange state last Sunday after the Bordeaux match. Tired, sometimes haggard, the Parisian coach had even explained that he slept badly since the elimination in the Champions League. A week later, sleep has not fully returned but the technician seems to regain a little foothold in the PSG universe. Better during a press briefing, asked about his future at PSG, coach Mauricio Pochettino felt he had “the ability to carry on” next season at the head of the Parisian club, citing his taste for “challenges” and one “spirit of revenge” after the failure in the Champions League.
The Argentinian technician, on contract until June 2023, “believe (do) that yes, all the technical staff have this ability to continue” and add “We have clear ideas, we are stronger than when we arrived, we have more knowledge of the club, we have learned how the club works, gained experience from managing it, that has value”, he added. The elimination at Real Madrid (3-1) in the round of 16 of C1, while PSG controlled the match, weighs in the balance sheet of Pochettino, who arrived in January 2021.
The _club could want to change coach at the end of the season, or even sporting director, if Leonardo leaves. “The future is tomorrow, I don’t think any further for the moment”answered the technician, who wants “end the season in the best possible way” and win the tenth title of champion of France for PSG. “At the end of the season, we will see the club’s decision”he added, referring to the need for the club and the staff to agree “on the ideas, the form, the project and how we achieve it” so that “we all have the same vision”. “We are competitive by nature, challenges and the spirit of revenge are what give us the most energy”he added, pointing out the “challenge” what is the management of“a club as big as Paris Saint-Germain”_.
