‘I’m fired every week!’ – Pochettino tells PSG board

Mauricio Pochettino has told the PSG board to back him like Manchester City do with Pep Guardiola.

Despite delivering the Ligue 1 title in 2021-22, it is still rumoured that the Argentine tactician is on borrowed time.

Pochettino has delivered three trophies since becoming the Paris Saint-Germain boss in January 2021.

However, he has been mainly judged on his failure in Europe, with a round of 16 defeat to Real Madrid in March.

Zinedine Zidane and Jose Mourinho have both been in the news as potential replacements for the former Tottenham manager, but he is not concerned by speculation in the media and still believes he is the right man to take the club forward.

In an interview with Esport3, Pochettino said, “I have one year left on my contract and there are a lot of rumours. Every week I am fired.

“PSG arouses this kind of thing. The club is trying to reinvent itself. The president will soon explain his new project, but I’m calm.

“To get there (at PSG), you have to be a good coach and after a year and a half there, I feel like one of the best. To lead a locker room with so many stars was a daily learning experience.

“We were very close to knocking out Madrid, like Chelsea, City and Liverpool. We went through it. I think we were far superior, but we missed the finishing touch. If the objective is to win the Champions League, it is normal to generate this kind of storm.”
