Pochettino appointed PSG coach following Tuchel sacking

Mauricio Pochettino has been appointed as the new coach of Paris Saint-Germain.

The former Tottenham, Southampton and Espanyol manager takes over at PSG following the sacking of Thomas Tuchel.

Tuchel was dismissed on Christmas Eve despite a 4-0 win over Strasbourg the night before, with his departure formally confirmed on Tuesday.

Pochettino spent two-and-a-half seasons at PSG as a player, making 95 appearances between 2000 and 2003, and winning the 2001 Intertoto Cup.

He had been out of work since being sacked by Tottenham in November 2019.
