Mauricio Pochettino appointed new PSG boss following Thomas Tuchel sacking

The former Tottenham manager has had to be patient in waiting for his return to football but has finally landed a new job

Mauricio Pochettino has finally landed a new job in management after being confirmed as the new boss of Paris-Saint Germain.

The 48-year-old has been out of the game since last November when he was sacked by Tottenham following five-and-a-half years in charge.

But after Thomas Tuchel’s departure from PSG was confirmed by the club earlier this week it was announced that Pochettino would be the man to replace him on Saturday.

He has signed a contract until 30 June 2022, with an option for an extra year.

Speaking following the announcement, Pochettino said: “I am really happy and honored to become the new coach of Paris Saint-Germain.

"I would like to thank the Club’s management for the trust they have placed in me. As you know, this club has always held a special place in my heart. I have wonderful memories, especially of the unique atmosphere of the Parc des Princes.

"I return to the Club today with a lot of ambition and humility, and am eager to work with some of the world’s most talented players.

"This team has fantastic potential and my staff and I will do everything we can to get the best for Paris Saint-Germain in all competitions.

“We will also do our utmost to give our team the combative and attacking playing identity that Parisian fans have always loved.”

PSG chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi added: "We are very pleased to welcome Mauricio Pochettino as first team coach.

"I am proud to see our former captain returning to Paris Saint-Germain, as the Club has always remained his home. The return of Mauricio fits perfectly with our ambitions and it will be another exciting chapter for the club and one I am positive the fans will enjoy.


“With the appointment of Mauricio Pochettino, Paris Saint-Germain is committed to continue to build and move the club forward over the coming years.”

Pochettino spent three seasons as a player at the French giants between 2000-03, and will no doubt relish the chance to take charge of one of Europe’s elite clubs.

HODGSON UNFAZED BY ZAHA RUMOURS

Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson says he is unconcerned by renewed speculation over the future of Wilfried Zaha and praised the forward’s form and attitude ahead of this afternoon’s clash with Sheffield United at Selhurst Park.

Zaha has struck eight goals in 14 games for Crystal Palace this season, with Paris St Germain and AC Milan the latest clubs to be linked with a big-money move for the 28-year-old.

Hodgson said: “There has been so much speculation regarding Wilf over the years that I tend to let those concerns disappear, as they often do.

“Wilf’s good and it doesn’t surprise me that there’s clubs out there who would like to sign him, but a lot of things have to be put in place before a player leaves a club.

“I’m just happy at the moment that Wilf is playing as he is, displaying his discipline and concentration and his passion for football and the club, and unless I’m given a reason to think otherwise, I expect that to keep going.”

FARKE: BUENDIA GOING NOWHERE IN JANUARY

Norwich manager Daniel Farke insisted Emi Buendia would be staying at the club in the January transfer window after watching him produce a brilliant winner to see off Barnsley 1-0 at Carrow Road.

It was Buendia’s seventh goal of an impressive season, with his performances bringing rumoured interest from a number of Premier League clubs. But Farke is determined to keep his prized asset as the Canaries attempt to bounce back to the top-flight at the first attempt.

He said: “Emi is a key player for us, an important member of the group, and he is totally committed to us. He is our player and will continue to be our player – he is on a long-term contract with the club so we keep him.

“Everyone knows his qualities – and I don’t expect interest just because he scored a wonder goal today. He has scored a number like this for us and people know what he can do. It was an excellent finish and that is what Emi can do. He instinctively knows when to make a run and then has the quality to finish like that."
