Tuchel has fallen. Only the official announcement is missing, but both the French and German media talking about confirmation. The German coach will no longer sit on the bench, after receiving the news last night, they say. His figure had already been discussed for many weeks, in fact, his dismissal was practically taken for granted before the last games. Whoever managed to pass the group in the Champions League seemed to have allowed him to catch air. In the end, on Christmas Eve and after winning the last game 4-0.
For weeks there was also talk of his successors. Today you sign up, from RMC, what Pochettino part with advantage. It is also the cover of L'Equipe on December 25: “Expected as Santa Claus”. In fact, As AS has learned, the Parisian club has already contacted Mauricio Pochettino. The financial agreement and the duration of the contract are being negotiated. It could be made official after the PSG officialize the dismissal of Tuchel.
Notable have been the disagreements in terms of signings and in the management of some issues. Pochetino has been free since he left Tottenham and, despite having proposals, he has preferred to wait. The Argentine starts with an advantage because he is Leonardo's favorite and because he has ancestry in the fans since he wore the PSG shirt for two seasons.
Other candidates in case the Argentine fails
Thiago Motta, is another possibility. The Hispanic-Brazilian also appears in the pools as a cheaper option, but equally favorable due to its links. He already has experience at the highest level, having coached in Italy in Serie A. A few weeks ago the last level of coach was officially taken in the promotion of Andrea Pirlo and, in addition, he was the one who got the best grade from the batch of coaches at the Italian school. As a player, he had a good time at PSG and, afterwards, he was working in their lower categories.
Finally, from France it is aimed at Maximiliano Allegri. A technician of more poster than the previous ones for his successes in Italy. His management on a bench as demanding as Juventus seduces the PSG property, tired of technicians who have struggled to maintain their hierarchy over the dressing room. Allegri took a year off and has been saying that she was looking forward to an experience abroad.
The decision to do without Tuchel has not been surprising, something more yes for the moment chosen. Among many other things, the German was accused of not transmitting from the bench, in addition to the results, obviously. Their profile has not gotten along and PSG is looking for a change of course in the middle of the season, after Tuchel had finally led them to play in a Champions League final.
