Currently on vacation in Spain, Mauricio Pochettino knows that his future hangs by a thread.
The Parisian coach is not really consulted for the future of PSG, and he even recently admitted that he had never been aware of a single negotiation between the French champion and Kylian Mbappé regarding the extension of the latter. Suffice to say that the opinion of the Argentine coach for the reconstruction in Paris goes into the background. But for his part, the former Tottenham coach does not take offense, and reveals an unfailing serenity. This had already been the case last summer, when he was announced to return to Spurs or as Real Madrid coach. Asked to deny, Pochettino had let the rumors run without batting an eyelid, before being extended by PSG.
Every week Pochettino gets fired
This time around, despite his remaining contract year, he will probably not be retained. Even if rumors about his departure regularly come to his ears. A little too much for his taste, as he told the Catalan channel Esport3, in an interview. ” I have one year left on my contract and there are a lot of rumours. I was fired every week. PSG stirs up this kind of thing. The club is trying to reinvent itself. The president will soon explain his new project, but I’m calm “, assured Pochettino, who indeed does not seem disconcerted by the news announced as boiling of the champion of France in the days to come.
Pochettino demands the same treatment as Guardiola
In any case, the Argentinian wants to defend his record and refuses to sell off the title in Ligue 1 recovered this season. Even if this did not at all save the exercise of Paris SG in the eyes of followers and supporters. “ Running a locker room with so many stars was a daily learning experience. We were very close to eliminating Madrid, like Chelsea, City and Liverpool. We’ve been there. I think we were far superior, but we missed the finishing touch. If the objective is to win the Champions League, it is normal for these types of storms to occur. The storm started after Madrid were eliminated. I like City because they gave Guardiola the opportunity to build. They gave him time. At PSG, you also need that. By giving serenity to this project, we will be close to winning the Champions League “Explained a Pochettino who dreams of having more time to get results. It is not won, as Qatar has never had the patience that Manchester City currently has with Pep Guardiola. But faced with the difficulties encountered in finding a new coach, Paris SG has not yet turned the page on Mauricio Pochettino.
