PSG appoint former Nice coach Galtier as manager after Pochettino out
Paris Saint-Germain have sacked Mauricio Pochettino as their manager, with Christophe Galtier confirmed as his replacement.
Pochettino has left after 18 months, during which he won his first trophies as a manager: the Ligue 1 title last season and, before that, the 2020-21 Coupe de France and 2020 Trophée des Champions.
However, the former Tottenham manager fell short in the Champions League, losing in the semi-finals to Manchester City in 2021 and more damagingly to Real Madrid last season, and the football that took them to the title was widely criticised as an unexciting and unconvincing.
Galtier has left his job at Nice after one season to take the post and is due to inherit a squad that includes Kylian Mbappé, Lionel Messi and Neymar. Mbappé caused surprised in May by rejecting Madrid to sign a new contract.
Galtier led Nice to fifth place after three and a half years at Lille, where he lifted the club clear of relegation, finished second in his first full season, fourth a year later and then won the title before resigning. It was Lille’s first Ligue 1 triumph in 10 years.

Galtier likes 4-4-2, but he needs to use 3-4-3. It will be the only way to get the best out of this team by allowing Hakimi and Mendes to fly forwards as wing-backs and reducing the defensive burdon on Messi and Mbappe GOOD LUCK GALTIER 🍀💙
