Formalism was missing, the club’s official announcement of a decision that was made weeks ago: the dismissal of Thomas Tuchel as PSG coach.
This Tuesday the French club made it official and so Neymar, Mbappé and the band are ready for more official announcements, which will surely go through a Latin American replacement.
Tuchel’s days in Paris were over since last week, but only now is it official that he is leaving, after many clashes with stars in the dressing room like Neymar and Mbappé, an unresolved distancing, with Leonardo, still a live sportsman in time of the Champions League final in Lisbon, and, as a climax, his last statements after the 4-0 win against Strasbourg, when he said he felt like a Minister of Sports before a coach.
Now the expected news is the presentation of Mauricio Pochettino as the new coach, who returns to the club where he knew how to be captain between 2001 and 2003 and is already only details, which go especially for the duration of the contract.
It would be his fourth experience after successfully leading Tottenham, Southampton and Espanyol and it is expected that before New Year’s Eve everything will be formalized so that he can debut on January 6 as DT.
