It's a short tribute, like the one published by the club at the start of the afternoon, but which has the merit of existing.
While this Tuesday was marked in Paris Saint-Germain by the transfer of power between Mauricio Pochettino and Christophe Galtier, the star striker of the capital club paid tribute to the first in a
story
published on his Instagram account.
In his Instagram story, Kylian Mbappé greeted Mauricio Pochettino.
“Thank you very much Mister, we read in a Spanish which we know that Mbappé masters.
Un abrazo
”, which can be translated as “a hug” or “an embrace”.
To accompany the message, a photo of the two men arm in arm, during the semi-final of the Coupe de France 2021 disputed against Montpellier at la Mosson (2-2, 5-6 tab).
On the networks, Mbappé was the first player in the squad to publicly pay tribute to Mauricio Pochettino.
If the departure of the Argentine coach had been expected for several weeks, it was only made official on Tuesday, after long negotiations to settle the final details of his departure conditions as well as those of his staff.
In a short press release, the club wanted to "thank Mauricio Pochettino and his staff for their work" and wish them "the best for the future".
In the wake of the announcement of Pochettino's departure, PSG therefore presented his replacement, Christophe Galtier.
Asked about the differences between the two men, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi kicked in touch: “I don't like to compare coaches.
I have a lot of respect for everyone.
Today, Galtier is our coach.
We are happy, we believe in him.
