Why so much eagerness? Because the stars wait. PSG has had a very hectic day at its headquarters, with the farewell to Mauricio Pochettino and the arrival of who will be the new boss of Mbappé, Messi, Neymar Jr, Donnarumma, Navas and other stars on the payroll.
First Paris Saint-Germain made official the dismissal of the Argentine coach, who lasted a year and a half and won the 2022 League, the 2021 Cup and the 2020 Super Cup. Everything pales before his inability to win the Champions League.
“The club thanks Mauricio Pochettino and his team for their work and wishes them the best,” PSG said in a statement.
Paris Saint-Germain confirms that it has ended its collaboration with Mauricio Pochettino.
The Club would like to thank Mauricio Pochettino and his staff for their work and wish them the best for the future.

And almost immediately, with only a couple of hours apart, Christophe Galtier was presented as the new DT, with a contract until 2024… if he achieves the long-awaited Orejona. Otherwise he will be one more name in the long list of dismissed technicians.
The new coach was a strong defender of Olympique de Marseille and Lille in the 1980s and Toulouse in the 1990s, and he has just coached Nice. This will be his first big challenge, at 55 years of age.
He has been chosen as the best coach in Ligue 1 three times, but his great merit was precisely beating the powerful PSG in the 2020/2021 season and winning the French league without so many stars.
