Paris Saint-Germain is pleased to announce Thomas Tuchel's contract extension for an additional season. The German coach has now signed until 30 June 2021 with the French capital’s club.
Tuchel, 45, arrived at Paris Saint-Germain in June 2018 and right from the start the Bavarian-born coach won over the players, staff and the club with his natural warmth as well as his modern vision of football.
Tuchel's staff who arrived last year at Paris Saint-Germain also extended their contracts by an additional season until 30 June 2021.
'I'm delighted to extend my contract and commitment to Paris Saint-Germain', said Thomas Tuchel, putting pen to paper on the new deal.
'I' like to thank the Chairman and the whole club for their trust in me and my staff. This only reinforces my ambition to bring this team to the very top through hard work. I'm sure that the best is yet to come for our club.'
Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, Paris Saint-Germain Chairman and CEO, said: 'For a year now, Thomas has been bringing fantastic energy to the daily life of the club, not only for the players, but for the whole of Paris Saint-Germain.'
'Our supporters immediately took to this coach who is always keen to share his analysis and emotions with as many people as possible. Thomas is a huge football fan and a very demanding manager who also listens to others. Thomas has expertise in the game as well as great managerial skills and we are delighted to be able to rely on his qualities on a long-term basis.'

so they sacked ancellotti for winning everything but the UCL sacked Emery as well but for Tuchel who won only the Ligue un you extend his contract on account of the feel good factor 😂 Tuchel is the French Ole Gunnar S.

tuchel literally brought nothing with him from germany. only yet another france-insulting cl defeat for psg against a man who cannot even keep his team in the top 5 of the pl. useless players were bought during his reign. sure they won ligue 1 but he couldn't even motivate his team to end the season in style, no, they lost pretty much every game since they became champions. if u care so little about this club why are u even still here. make psg a real team, bring coaches who make great players play great together. buy french players, ur the capital of france, make ur country proud. psg isn't even like a french team...

As same as machester united extended Ole Gunnar as their Manager and he is nothing to give the club at all.Better Tomas Tuchel to be a manager than to have Ole Gunnar as your manager of a club.

Bloody hell , congratulations Tuchel for the new contract .This guy is so positive about every defeat and huge respect to him because At least he doesn't blame the wind like someone somewhere in Mersesyde.

Very good decision, now let's get 4-5 capable players and give him an actually competitive squad.

PSG wants stability and are going about it the wrong way . The problem of PSG is more than it coach. The whole system is badly built. They need to look inward and fix the real problems.
