Arrived last January on the bench of PSG, Mauricio Pochettino confides in his recruitment and reveals the reasons for his arrival in the eyes of Leonardo and Nasser Al-Khelaïfi.
After a delicate first part of the season from a sporting point of view and professionally conflicting, Thomas Tuchel was dismissed from his post last December. In the process, Mauricio Pochettino was appointed to succeed the German. The former manager of Tottenham is much more discreet in his public interventions and never questions the management of his direction in front of the media unlike his predecessor. It must be said that Pochettino is aware of the reasons for which he was recruited and does not intend to interfere in the work of his leaders.
“The leaders of the PSG made me come to take sporting decisions ”
“ The leaders of PSG brought me in to make sporting decisions. That's what I like, and what I can do a little. I do not want to go beyond the limits of my attributions and my obligations. It wouldn't be good for anyone. On the other hand, I have to understand how the president and the sporting director think, to know what they expect from us. It is this alignment that avoids asking questions that go beyond the purely sporting framework. A coach who meddles in the work of the leaders is neither correct nor ideal. It must be 100% focused on the progress of individuals and the collective, on tactical innovation and human management, the analysis of the adversary. Otherwise, I would feel out of place, ”he says in the columns of the JDD.
