Coach Mauricio Pochettino is to leave Paris St-Germain
following talks with the club at the end of last week.
PSG
are still to make a formal announcement but it is understood the former
Tottenham manager, 50, will not serve the final year of his contract.
Zinedine Zidane, Jose Mourinho and Nice coach Christophe
Galtier are among those linked with replacing Pochettino.
PSG
regained the French title last term but the Argentine failed to lead them
beyond the Champions League’s last 16.
Although
they were beaten by eventual winners Real Madrid, PSG held a 2-0 aggregate
advantage with less than half an hour remaining in their second leg.
Pochettino
claimed the first trophies of his managerial career with PSG – the 2021 Coupe
de France and 2022 Ligue 1 title – but the club’s hierarchy felt that was the
minimum he should achieve given the squad at his disposal.
The
ex-Spurs manager was considered a potential replacement for Ole Gunnar
Solskjaer at Manchester United before they appointed interim boss Ralf Rangnick
and then Solskjaer’s permanent successor Erik ten Hag
