PSG, Mauricio Pochettino agree on termination of appointment

Paris Saint-Germain have reached an agreement with head coach Mauricio Pochettino on the termination of his appointment.

Pochettino met the PSG chiefs last week over the mutual decision for him to exit the club.

As replacement for Thomas Tuchel in 2021, Pochettino led PSG to the Champions League semi-final.

His team were also undefeated at home in the Champions League and Ligue 1 last season.

Zinedine Zidane remains the club’s most preferred candidate to replace him following the former Madrid boss’ proven record of Champions League success.

Pochettino has been in charge for 18 months and led the club to the Ligue 1 title in his first full season, finishing 15 points clear of second-placed Marseille.
