From Foot Mercato, after the dismissal of Thomas Tuchel during the end of season in 2020, Paris Saint-Germain had decided to bet on Mauricio Pochettino, who had been without a job since the end of his adventure with Tottenham.
Since his arrival on the Parisian bench, the Argentinian technician has won the 2020 Champions Trophy and the 2021 Coupe de France but has failed to take his team to the summit of Europe in the Champions League or that of the France in Ligue 1. However, his general record is not bad since in 48 directed matches, his team won 35 for 4 draws and 9 defeats. The results are good, but winning important trophies is better. And that, the 49-year-old coach understood well in the French capital.
Since the arrival of QSI in Paris, winning the CL has become the priority objective. Big pressure on the shoulders of the players, the staff and therefore the coach on which the main concerned returned to the Journal du Dimanche:
“Paris is aiming for all the trophies because the leaders demand it, the fans too. The record is the only legacy we can leave, which was not the case at Espanyol or Southampton. In these clubs, we tried to build but without necessarily aiming for victory. Here, victory is the only valid philosophy. We can have good ideas, but it is only on the trophies that we will be called to account.”
