Mauricio Pochettino has been sacked as Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) manager, the club have announced, with Christophe Galtier set to take over the position.<\/p>\n

\u201cParis Saint-Germain confirm that Mauricio Pochettino has ended his role at the club,\u201d PSG said in a statement. \u201cThe club would like to thank Mauricio Pochettino and his staff for their work and wish them the best for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sources told ESPN that PSG will pay a fee of around \u20ac10 million to Nice for Galtier, and he will sign a two-year contract with an additional year option.<\/p>\n

Galtier, 55, was the preferred candidate of new PSG sporting director Luis Campos, who replaced Leonardo. Galtier led Lille to the 2021 league title ahead of PSG.<\/p>\n

Mauricio Pochettino led PSG to the Ligue 1 title but his failure in the Champions League cost him.<\/p>\n

Zinedine Zidane was the preferred option for the emir of Qatar, who owns PSG, but the former Real Madrid manager rejected approaches to take on the project.<\/p>\n

There had been speculation over Pochettino\u2019s future at PSG since their elimination from the Champions League by Real Madrid in the round of 16, despite holding a 2-0 aggregate lead at half-time of the second leg.<\/p>\n

Even PSG winning their 10th Ligue 1 title in May was marred by a protest from the club\u2019s ultras, who left the game with 15 minutes remaining rather than celebrating with the team\u2019s players.<\/p>\n

Pochettino was appointed PSG boss in January 2021, following his dismissal from Tottenham at the end of 2019.<\/p>\n
