Mauricio Pochettino Becomes Coach Of Paris Saint-Germain by fergie001: 4:56pm On Jan 02, 2021
French footballing Giants, Paris Saint-Germain has today named Mauricio Pochettino as Head Coach of the Senior team until 2022.

The Parisiens had earlier announced that former Manager, Thomas Tuchel had left, after managing the capital club 127 times in all competitions, with 95 wins, 13 draws and 19 defeats (337 goals scored, 103 conceded) in two years at the helm.

Paris Saint-Germain is pleased to announce the appointment of Mauricio Pochettino as it's new head coach. The Argentine has signed a contract with the club from the French capital until 30 June 2022, with an option for an extra year.

The 48-year-old Mauricio Pochettino has history at Paris Saint-Germain where, as a centre-back and club captain, he made 95 appearances for the Rouge & Bleu between 2001 and 2003, scoring 6 goals. Mauricio came through the ranks at Newell’s Old Boys in his native Argentina, before moving to Europe to play for Espanyol FC and then Paris Saint-Germain. Born in Murphy, Argentina, he won 20 caps and scored 2 goals for his country, and his fighting spirit made him a favorite of the Parc des Princes crowd during his 30 months in Paris.

After retiring from playing, Mauricio began his coaching career at Espanyol FC between 2009 and 2012, before developing his experience in England with a spell from 2013 to 2014 at Southampton and then at Tottenham Hotspur from 2014 until 2019. As Spurs manager Pochettino showed a real talent for managing top-level players with his passion and his ambitious vision of football, taking the Lilywhites to their first ever Champions League final in the 2018/19 season.

Mauricio will take his first training session for the Rouge & Bleu on 3 January 2021 following the winter break.

“I am really happy and honored to become the new coach of Paris Saint-Germain," said Mauricio Pochettino after signing his contract. “I would like to thank the Club's management for the trust they have placed in me. As you know, this club has always held a special place in my heart. I have wonderful memories, especially of the unique atmosphere of the Parc des Princes. I return to the Club today with a lot of ambition and humility, and am eager to work with some of the world’s most talented players. This team has fantastic potential and my staff and I will do everything we can to get the best for Paris Saint-Germain in all competitions. We will also do our utmost to give our team the combative and attacking playing identity that Parisian fans have always loved.”

“We are very pleased to welcome Mauricio Pochettino as first team coach,” said Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, Chairman and CEO of Paris Saint-Germain. “I am proud to see our former captain returning to Paris Saint-Germain, as the Club has always remained his home. The return of Mauricio fits perfectly with our ambitions and it will be another exciting chapter for the club and one I am positive the fans will enjoy. With the appointment of Mauricio Pochettino, Paris Saint-Germain is committed to continue to build and move the club forward over the coming years.”

I think this is a perfect match.
He will soon start winning the trophies that he has never won, the power of money.

Anybody that says that money can't buy success should just take a look at Manchester City and PSG, he will testify that money is great. Look at how some mid table clubs have been transformed to Europe power houses that can attract the best players and coaches.

Money is very good.

This is cool.

I hope Ole Gunner Sokjaer won’t go back to his losing ways since his possible replacement and threat has been hired by a big club

Nice fella. Hope he has learned from his time at Spurs though. As the manager of a top club you chase every trophy,whether big or small. That's the only blemish on his record

I don't understand football these days. You get fired by a team like Everton and get hired as a coach of Barcelona. You get fired by a Tottenham team and get hired by a PSG even though your predecessor did better than you.

I don't still know what Thomas Tuchel has done wrong

He had a good record with PSG

Yet he was sacked

As for Pochettino, he should be ready for his sack letter as soon as he's out of champions league
