The
PSG
announced on Saturday the hiring of
Mauricio Pochettino
as coach.
The Argentine coach, without a team after his
dismissal from Tottenham in November 2019
, has signed until the end of the 2021-2022 season.
In this way, Pochettino
returns to what was his home as a player 20 years ago
, between January 2001 and June 2003, and where he won a French Cup.
PSG is currently fourth in Ligue 1 after an uneven start and will face
Barcelona
in the knockout stages of the
Champions League
.
The news of his signing has not caught fans and players by surprise, who had already awaited his arrival since the dismissal of
Thomas Tuchel
a few days ago.
The objective of the Argentine will be to
conquer a Champions League
that he was about to raise two years ago with Tottenham, when he fell in the Wanda Metropolitano final against Liverpool.
In Paris he will be in charge of stars of another level such as Neymar Jr and Kylian Mbappé, but also
much more pressure
in a club that touched the last 'orejona' in the
Lisbon
bubble
.
It will be his fourth experience as a coach and he will seek his first title on the bench after having led
Espanyol
,
Southampton
and
Spurs
, the latter for five years.
"As you know, this club has always held a special place in my heart. I have
wonderful memories of it
, especially the unique atmosphere of the Parc des Princes. I return to the club with a lot of ambition and humility, while looking forward to working with some of the most talented players in the world. This team has fantastic potential and I will do my best to optimize the results in all competitions, "Pochettino said in the statement published by PSG.
