Major German and French newspapers reported on Christmas Eve that Thomas Tuchel had been sacked in Paris Saint-Germain.
The club has not yet confirmed the information. But both Bild and L’Équipe report that the German coach has been released from the contract.
Bild was the first to report the news, which hit like a bomb just before Christmas sounded. The German newspaper also believes it knows what has happened. Kicker does the same:
The relationship between Tuchel and sports director Leonardo (51) is said to have escalated to a boiling point.

– Tuchel was fired on Christmas Eve by his internal opponent, Leonardo. He was informed by the club’s Brazilian sporting director immediately after the 4-0 victory over Strasbourg (little Christmas Eve). The result of the last game of the year did not matter. The decision was made, writes Bild.
– It was a shock for Tuchel. The former Borussia Dortmund manager did not see this sudden development coming. He was looking forward to the match against Barcelona in the Champions League on February 16. The moment is incomprehensible to him. His contract in Paris expires in the summer anyway. But PSG has decided to change their coach at the end of the year.

The decision to be fired will be the end of the visa in a power struggle between Tuchel and Leonardo. Coach versus sports manager.
– There have been repeated disagreements between the two, writes Kicker.
Tuchel joined PSG in 2018. Eleven months later, former lead player Leonardo, with 55 games for Brazil, was hired as sports director.
– It was clear from the beginning that the constellation would not work permanently. Time and again there were reports from France of serious disputes between the two. In the transitional market, Leonardo drew on his Italian contacts. It hardly involved Tuchel. He brought in midfielder Rafinha and forward Moise Kean, whom Tuchel did not love at all, writes Bild.
– At the same time, Leonardo let go of players like Thiago Silva and Tanguy Kouassi. Tuchel wanted to keep these.
Tuchel publicly expressed his discontent. This caused Leonardo to shoot sharply:
– If you want to stay, you must respect sports policy and internal rules, he declared.
Tuchel won two league golds and a gold cup with Paris Saint-Germain. He also led the club to the final of the Champions League last season, but ended with a 1-0 loss to Bayern Munich.
Former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino is now strongly linked to the top position at Parc des Princes.
– Know the club that played there in 2002 and 2003, says Kicker.
Paris Saint-Germain are in third place after 17 games in Ligue 1.
