French Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint Germain have confirmed the sacking of Mauricio Pochettino as manager, after months of speculation surrounding his future after failing to win the UEFA Champions League.
In a statement released on Tuesday, the Les Parisiens said: ‘Paris Saint-Germain confirm that Mauricio Pochettino has ended his role at the club. We would like to thank Mauricio Pochettino and his staff for their work and wish them the best for the future.’
The French giants are in the midst of making major changes to the club after tying down star man Kylian Mbappe to a new deal – with the French forward said to be given new influence over the club.
Pochettino joined the French giants in January 2021 on an 18-month contract to replace the outgoing Thomas Tuchel. The Argentine finished second in the league during his first campaign, crashed out of the Champions League in the semi-finals, but won the Coupe de France Final.
The 50-year-old later extended his contract until the summer of 2023 and went on to win the league this campaign, although they crashed out in Europe in the last-16 to Real Madrid.
His failure in Europe has led to calls for him to be sacked for the last few months despite winning the league title, which has now been confirmed.
The former Tottenham Hotspurs gaffer won Ligue 1 but failed to deliver the Champions League trophy the club craves, despite having an all-star line-up featuring Neymar, Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe.
