It is now done. Paris Saint-Germain formalized in a press release on Tuesday July 5 the departure of its coach, Mauricio Pochettino. The Argentinian technician, who joined the capital club in January 2021, should in all likelihood be replaced by Christophe Galtier in the hours that follow.

In the meantime, PSG held “to thank Mauricio Pochettino and his staff for their work and wish them the best for the future.” The South American is fired by his club for the second time in his career. In November 2019, Tottenham, then 14th in the Premier League, fired him months after he led the team to the Champions League final.

It is precisely the C1 which this time costs his position to Mauricio Pochettino. If he won the title of champion of France with PSG, the former central defender suffered a disappointment in the knockout stages of the Champions League. Winners of Real Madrid in the first leg, the players of the capital were overthrown in a few minutes on the return, when they had the cards in hand. This is the second major departure in Paris, after that of the sporting director, Leonardo.
