Under contract until June 2023, Mauricio Pochettino is under heavy criticism at the moment and his departure from Paris Saint-Germain has already been mentioned, with Zinedine Zidane potentially replacing him.

Just a year ago, Thomas Tuchel was extremely vulnerable. The German multiplied the criticisms against Leonardo and finally, he bounced back at Chelsea after being sacked by Paris Saint-Germain. The same seems to be happening with Mauricio Pochettino. If it was extended until 2023 this summer, the Argentine is going through a complicated period at PSG. His game does not not convince and L'Équipe recently revealed that part of the locker room would no longer trust him, in particular a certain Lionel Messi. The pressure increased a notch at the end of October, when Leonardo : “We don't want to wait six years before playing well”. The various speculations of the English press on an interest of Manchester United, as well as the inclinations of Qatar for Zinedine Zidane of which we spoke to you on le10sport.com, did not inevitably only strained things.

Pochettino claims to have the support of everyone

The main interested party, who has joined Paris Saint-Germain January 2, 2021, does not seem destabilized by all of this. Indeed, when a journalist recently invited him to comment on his situation, Mauricio Pochettino for once was not stingy in words. “I feel good, I feel at ease because I have the support of my players and the club. The club knows where we are and what we're doing. I feel at ease because we know the process in which we are embarked “declared in a press conference the coach of PSG. “We know that in a team like Paris, there is a light that shines very brightly. All the noise around is loud and it's part of a club like PSG. But having lights like that doesn't advance a normal process. We know the process and we know where we are going. Beyond whatever storm there may be, we do not want to stray from the direction we have taken we will stay in this idea. After the storm, the good days will come ”.

Pochettino “foreigner in his own country”

From November 2021, we revealed to you on le10sport.com that Paris Saint-Germain is already thinking about the 'after- Pochettino . A version since confirmed by several French media, as well as foreign ones. This is the case of the Parisian, for whom divorce seems to have become inevitable. The daily highlights in particular the tactical drifts of Mauricio Pochettino, whose real paw is still difficult to see. This would directly hamper the development of some players, who seem to stagnate and sometimes even regress, such as a Neymar very far from his true level. Same story in Italy, with Tuttosport talking about a Pochettino “foreigner in his own country”. For the Italian daily, the Argentinian has never been able to give a real identity to his PSG, although he has been there for almost a year and was able to benefit from the truce to work better with a workforce “full of champions”. More and more isolated within the club, Pochettino therefore seems to have arrived at a decisive turning point in his Parisian adventure.
