While he has been under fire from critics since the start of this 2021/2022 season, Mauricio Pochettino should nevertheless not leave PSG in the coming days.

Arrived on the bench of Paris Saint-Germain almost a year ago following the departure of Thomas Tuchel , Mauricio Pochettino is no longer in a state of grace in the French capital. Indeed, if the results obtained are correct on paper, the manner clearly leaves something to be desired, especially when we see what the Parisian club have despite some shortcomings in the construction of the squad. The Argentinian is thus accused of the boring face displayed by his team which depends much more on the individual exploits of his stars – Kylian Mbappé especially – that of a real collective force. At the same time, the management of young people by the former coach of Tottenham is frequently the subject of heated debate, with many observers believing that Mauricio Pochettino does not offer them opportunity when they deserve it, in particular Xavi Simons and Edouard Michut . Then, to make matters worse, the Argentinian has already wished to leave PSG twice since his arrival.

Mauricio Pochettino is expected to stay at PSG this winter

The first time took place last summer. At the time, Mauricio Pochettino was announced with insistence in the sights of Tottenham and Real Madrid , but it was finally retained by his management which, a few weeks later, activated the option present in its contract to automatically extend it for one year, ie until June 2023. A few months later, the soap opera Mauricio Pochettino left with a vengeance, precisely in November. When Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was dismissed from his post by the management of Red Devis, it was announced that the coach of PSG wanted to take over. But there again, the Parisian management decided to retain it. However, as Le Parisien makes clear in its edition of this Friday, these two episodes clearly scratched the rating of Mauricio Pochettino within the Parisian staff, just like his words during an interview with L'EQUIPE where he explained more about developing the ideas of PSG than his own.

If we add up the disappointing content of the matches, can we imagine a departure of Mauricio Pochettino during this winter break? And all the more so since the question of his departure has not been taboo internally for weeks as we have revealed to you, while PSG is advancing in the case Zinedine Zidane to replace it according to our information? According to Le Parisien, the answer is no! The Ile-de-France regional daily actually explains that Mauricio Pochettino should not leave for Christmas, as was the case with Tomas Tuchel a year ago. Doubts about him exist internally, but these could instead lead to his departure at the end of the season. It is not for nothing that PSG contacted Zinedine Zidane , but Le Parisien specifies that this would be more in sight next summer. In short, it is as much to say that a departure of Mauricio Pochettino would, in the current state of affairs, be a huge surprise as it does not stick to the current trend. And everything indicates that it is with the Argentinian on his bench that PSG will play the second part of this 2021/2022 season.
