Psg, Tuchel exonerated: in his place Pochettino

No panettone, for a mustache, for Thomas Tuchel. As reported by the team, PSG have in fact surprisingly decided to fire the coach who led the Frenchman since 2018 by winning two championships and who had led them to the Champions League final last year.

Rest

–

Last night’s 4-0 victory against Strasbourg was not enough, nor was the first place in the Champions group. However, the club’s management decided to break the contract that bound it to PSG until next June, mainly due to an uncertain start to the season (the team is third in the standings) and clashes with Leonardo and some players. Tuchel was informed of the decision overnight.

The interview

–

The divorce occurred the day after the interview given by the coach to the German channel Sport 1, in which he said things that the PSG management simply did not like: “To be honest, in the first six months at PSG I asked myself: ‘But am I still a coach or a politician or a sports minister? Where is my role as a coach in such a club? “I said to myself: ‘I just want to train.’ I became a coach for this reason and that’s how I am where I am. Basically, I love football and I can have this satisfaction in many ways. Doing it at PSG is sometimes easy, while that others are a challenge because a club like this has a series of influences beyond the simple interest in the team. I just love football and in a club like this it is not always just that. ”The company assures that the exemption it had been decided before, but suspicions persist that certain words may have determined the decisive tear.

Alternative

And PSG has already found the substitute: Mauricio Pochettino, Argentine, 48, comes to the Ville Lumiere bench in the last 4 and a half seasons at Tottenham. A highly desired choice by President Nasser Al Khelaifi and one that will presumably also appeal to the squad: Pochettino at PSG had played two seasons, from 2001 to 2003, also winning an Intertoto Cup. His arrival should be official soon.
