PSG fired their coach Thomas Tuchel just over a week ago.

Today, his replacement was presented.

Argentine Maurici Pochettino takes over as the team's coach.

He has a past in the club as a player between the years 2001 to 2003.

- This club has always had a special place in my heart.

I have wonderful memories from here, especially from the atmosphere at the Parc des Princes, he says to the club's website.

Pochettino comes most recently from Tottenham, which he was fired from in November 2019. The contract with PSG extends until June 2022, with an option for another year.

PSG is third in the table, one point behind league leaders Lyon. The team will face Brest in the next match on January 9.
