The Argentine reportedly met PSG’s hierarchy early in June and it was concluded that the Argentine would not continue as boss of the Ligue 1 until the sacking was only finalised in July.

Pochettino’s contract was due to expire in 2023, but he is now set to leave the club after leading them to the Ligue 1 title.

Pochettino had one year left on his contract, but won’t see it out. His sacking paves the way for former Lille and Nice boss Christophe Galtier to be announced as the new head coach.
