JUST IN: PSG fire Pochettino as manager

French champions, Paris Saint Germain have sacked Mauricio Pochettino as their manager after 18 months in charge.

The Ligue 1 club confirmed the development in a tweet on Tuesday morning.

“Paris Saint Germain confirm that Mauricio Pochettino has ended his role at the Club,” it reads.

“The Club would like to thank Mauricio Pochettino and his staff for their work and wish them the best for the future.”

The former Tottenham boss arrived at the Parc des Princes in January 2021 but finished second in Ligue 1 behind shock winners Lille and exited the Champions League at the semi-final stage to Manchester City.

The club did win the Coupe de France that year and the league title followed last season but there was more Champions League disappointment after a round-of-16 loss to eventual winners Real Madrid.

Christophe Galtier is expected to be announced as Pochettino’s successor later on Tuesday.
