Formalism was missing, the club’s official announcement of a decision taken weeks ago: the dismissal of Thomas Tuchel as PSG coach.
On Tuesday, the French club made it official, so Neymar, Mbappé and the band are ready for more official announcements, which will definitely go through a Latin American replacement.
Tuchel’s days in Paris are past last week, but only now is it official that he is leaving, after many misunderstandings with celebrities in the dressing room, such as Neymar and Mbappé, at a distance without a solution, with Leonardo, sporting director even during the final season of the League. The champions of Lisbon and, as a culmination, his last statements after 4-0 against Strasbourg, when he said that he feels like a sports minister before a coach.
Now the expected news is the presentation of Mauricio Pochettino as the new coach, who returns to the club where he was captain between 2001 and 2003 and now it’s just details, which pass especially during the contract.
It would be his fourth experience after successfully directing Tottenham, Southampton and Espanyol and he expects everything to be formalized before the New Year, so that he can be launched on January 6 as DT.
