Paris (AFP) – Argentine coach Mauricio Pochettino is close to leaving Paris Saint-Germain, according to French reports.
The two prestigious newspapers, “L’Equipe” and “Le Parisien”, reported on Tuesday evening that a meeting took place between the lawyers of the two parties in order to determine how to terminate the Argentine’s contract, as the first stated that they were “on the verge of reaching an agreement.”
Despite leading the team to regain the local league title that it lost the previous season to Lille, Pochettino’s situation has been unstable for several weeks, specifically since the harsh exit from the Champions League final price once morest Real Madrid following his team advanced 2-0 In the total of the two matches before it collapsed in the last half hour of the return leg, the team’s search for a first continental title continued.
His departure is expected to cost the capital club’s treasury a lot. According to the two newspapers, the amount will reach between 15 and 20 million euros, in exchange for the salaries of the Argentine and his employees if they remain until the end of their contract in 2023.
The former Tottenham boss will join the Brazilian sporting director Leonardo, who was sacked on May 22, and was replaced by Portuguese Luis Campos, who was officially appointed as football advisor last week.
This would align with the Qatari-owned club’s leaders’ desire to reshape the management and technical staff, ahead of possible reshuffles to the squad this summer in the wake of striker Kylian Mbappe’s contract extension.
In the event of the departure of Pochettino (50 years old), who arrived in Paris in January 2021, Zinedine Zidane and the current Nice coach Christophe Gallett are among the names regularly proposed to succeed him.
