It is believed that the
official confirmation of
the separation was delayed due to the negotiations on the terms of the termination of the contract.

victory
and reaching the Champions League final, it is over.

PSG
, despite the many titles, there was often speculation about an expulsion, and calm never really returned to the top club.
“In any case, there are extreme expectations in the club and in the environment.

appreciation
for it - especially in the league - is not there, ”said Tuchel to
Sport1
.
The Argentine
Mauricio Pochettino
, who
knows
Paris Saint-Germain from his time as a professional between 2001 and 2003, is to inherit him.
Pochettino reached the Champions League final with Tottenham Hotspur 2019 and lost 1-0 to Liverpool FC.
