In Paris, the departure of Mauricio Pochettino is no longer a taboo subject after the last PSG performances. Several avenues are currently being explored, including the one leading to Zinedine Zidane. For his part, the Argentine is already looking into the post-PSG, a sign that his future is uncertain despite his current contract until June 2023.
Appointed at the head of PSG last January following the surprise departure of Thomas Tuchel , Mauricio Pochettino is still struggling to gain unanimity in the capital. However, his team continues the good results despite some underperformance, but the content is not up to expectations, especially after the XXL recruitment carried out by PSG this summer, marked in particular by the arrival of Lionel Messi .

The future of Pochettino is debated at PSG with Zidane in sight
Like you Le10sport.com revealed this week, the departure of Mauricio Pochettino before the end of his lease in 2023 is no longer ruled out internally.

The British media explains that Pochettino would be well on the side of the Premier League , a league in which he has good odds after his five and a half seasons at Tottenham . In England, one club is paying attention to the situation of the native of Murphy at PSG , it is Manchester United , where the Ole Gunnar Solskjær 's future is clearly uncertain after the Red Devils' poor start to the season.
