PSG coach attended a meeting with the club’s board, which defined his future in the team; departure can be announced at any time
O PSG finally decided on what to do with the future of Mauricio Pochettino. According to information from the French newspapers “L’Équipe” and “Le Parisien”, the captain should leave his post at the Paris club later this week, and the official announcement can be made at any time through the team’s official social networks. .
The publications indicate that a meeting was held this Tuesday, 14, involving the Parisian club’s lawyers and the coach to settle the details of the Argentine’s contract termination. This decision would come as no surprise to anyone, as Pochettino won this season only in Ligue 1 and faced the disappointment of an early elimination from the Champions League.

Despite wanting to get rid of the coach from the moment things started to go wrong, the PSG will have to open the safes well before saying goodbye to the technician. That’s because, according to the newspapers, the club will need to pay between 15 and 20 million euros, which correspond to the salaries of the Argentine and his coaching staff, as the contracts would expire in 2023.
If Pochettino’s departure is really confirmed in the next few hours, it will follow the same schedule as the sporting director’s farewell. Leonardowho was fired on May 22 and replaced by Portuguese Luis Campos. The Paris club is well focused on its squad renewal project to finally win the Champions League in the next edition.
Pochettino, who was a PSG player between 2001 and 2003, arrived at the club in the middle of last year’s season to take the position of Thomas Touchel. However, during this year and a half, he was unable to convince the fans of his techniques, despite having renowned players in the squad, such as Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar.
