Official: M. Pochettino takes over at the helm of PSG © „Reuters“

Just before Christmas, the Parisian team "Saint-Germain" bid farewell to head coach Thomas Tuchel and introduced a new team leader. As expected, Mauricio Pochettino is now at the helm of PSG, who previously defended the honor of French champions when he was a player. The 48-year-old Argentine put his signature on a contract that is valid until the summer of 2022, with the option to extend it for another season. M. Pochettino had been without a job since November 2019 when he was fired by London's "Tottenham". As a player, the Argentine defended PSG's honor from 2001 to 2003, playing 95 matches during that time.
