Paris Saint-Germain confirm that they have parted ways with Mauricio Pochettino

However, while the Argentine did win several trophies at the club, including the 2021/22 Ligue 1 title and the French Cup the season before last, he didn’t quite hit the heights many expected. That includes falling short in the Champions League with a semi-final defeat in 2020/21 and a Round of 16 loss last season.
