On May 23, one of the biggest failures in the recent history of PSG was consummated. The ambitious project in the Parisian team, with Neymar, Mbappé, Icardi, Di María, Verratti, Marquinhos and company, kneeled in Ligue 1. Lille were proclaimed French league champions, ahead of them. While, Mauricio Pochettino on the bench began to doubt his future. Even at the beginning of the transfer market, there was talk of a possible express return to Tottenham after leaving the London team in November 2020.
Finally, This July 23, PSG has announced the renewal of Pochettino until 2023 (along with the rest of its technical staff). And it is that the Argentine contract ended a year earlier, in June 2022. Therefore, This extension for one more season signifies the trust placed in him by both Leonardo and Nasser Al-Khelaifi. All this despite not achieving the main objective of winning Ligue 1, although he did add two titles to his record with the Super Cup and the French Cup.
Le Paris Saint-Germain is heureux d’annoncer that Mauricio Pochettino and are staff are the desormais liés au club de la capitale jusqu’au 30 June 2023. ✍️????????

Now, Pochettino has in his hands what is the best squad in the history of PSG. The signings during this market undoubtedly point to the most precious scepter, that of the king of Europe. The Champions League, the most desired cup that the Parisian team resists so much, is the jewel in the crown. With arrivals by Gianluigi Donnarumma, Sergio Ramos, Achraf Hakimi, Georginio WijnaldumIn addition to those already mentioned above (pending the future of Mbappé), it is almost an obligation to fight to, at least, reach the final that will take place in Saint Petersburg.
