Argentine coach and the Saints part ways after a disappointing season despite winning the Ligue 1 title

Not long ago, Mauricio Pochettino seemed super-confident about his future work at Parc des Princes. Moreover, he claimed he'll be joined by Kylian Mbappe, and stated "both of them will stay at PSG 100%".

And to be honest with the guy, he was more than right for the prolific French attacker, who'll be staying with the Paris giants for long. However, Poch seems to be wrong when it comes to himself!

According to The Athletic, Paris Saint-Germain have reached an agreement with Pochettino that will see the Argentine leave his role ahead of the upcoming season after 18 months in charge.

Pochettino is believed to have met the PSG hierarchy last week to discuss the 2021-22 campaign, during which his team won Ligue 1 but lost to eventual winners Real Madrid in the Champions League round of 16.

"It is understood the conversation produced a mutual decision that the former PSG captain will not continue in the Parc des Princes dugout, with both sides identifying a parting of ways to be the most sensible step.

"Given that Pochettino's contract was scheduled to expire in 2023, his exit still needs to be finalised. But the club are already looking for their new leader", The Athletic reports.
