Just four months after leading Paris Saint-Germain to a first Champions League final, Thomas Tuchel has been dismissed by the French side with former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino touted to replace him
Former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino is, according to RMC Sport, set to replace Thomas Tuchel as head coach at Paris Saint-Germain.
The Ligue 1 champions are making a festive change in their dugout amid struggles for consistency in 2020-21, with a man who spent time on their books as a player heading back to the French capital.
As first reported by Bild, Tuchel, 47, leaves the Parc des Princes after two-and-a-half years in charge.
The former Borussia Dortmund boss had won six trophies with Les Parisiens, including back-to-back Ligue 1 crowns.
But Wednesday night’s 4-0 win over Strasbourg was the end of the road, despite PSG being third in the French league, just one point off top spot.
Pre-game, Tuchel had given an interview in his homeland in which he was quoted as saying he had, at times, felt more like "a sports politician or sports minister than a coach" during his tenure.
