Nice gifts for Thomas Tuchel: According to various media, the Paris Saint-Germain manager was fired on Christmas Eve. A great candidate for his successor has already emerged.
On Wednesday, Paris Saint-Germain beat Racing Strasbourg 4-0. A day later, on Christmas Eve, Thomas Tuchel was apparently released from his duties as head coach. Among others, L’EQUIPE and RMC SPORT report on this.
Due to the expiration of his contract, countless rumors had already been heard that Tuchel would have to leave his post after the end of this season at the latest. Krumbacher himself recently had no illusions about his commitment to the Seine (“Then you don’t need dreams either”).
PSG reached the Champions League final in the preseason under the German’s leadership, but lost 1-0 to Bayern. Winning the jackpot is the only thing that can satisfy Qatar’s club bosses, and that’s exactly what Tuchel failed to achieve during his three-year tenure.
Although official confirmation of the release is still pending, Tuchel’s successor has reportedly already been determined. Mauricio Pochettino should give the Parisian nobleman the Champions League this season. There is also speculation about Thiago Motta.
The Argentine has been without a permanent position in football since leaving Tottenham Hotspur in November 2019 and has signaled in recent weeks that he is ready for a new assignment.
In France it is said that Pochettino will receive an 18-month contract; plus the automatic extension in case PSG win the Champions League. So the requirements are still high. The 48-year-old knows his new work environment. As an active player, Pochettino worked at PSG for two and a half years.
