Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) manager Mauricio Pochettino is reportedly unhappy at the club and does not intend to manage the Ligue 1 side beyond this season.
According to FootMercato, the 49-year-old manager is already informing people around him that he will leave the Parc des Princes at the end of the season.
Mauricio Pochettino was appointed as the manager of the Parisian giants in January 2021 after the club parted ways with Thomas Tuchel.
The Argentinian tactician has now completed a year in charge of France's biggest club but things haven't gone as per plan. PSG lost out on the Ligue 1 title to Lille last season and also exited the Champions League at the semi-final stage against Manchester City.
According to the aforementioned source, the former Tottenham Hotspur manager is tired of managing PSG. Pochettino's relationship with the club's sporting director Leonardo has also deteriorated within the last year.
One such instance was during the January transfer window when Pochettino wanted to sign Tanguy Ndombele from Spurs. However, the deal did not take place and Ndombele instead signed for the Parisian giants' rivals Olympique Lyonnais.
The 2021-22 season is also not going splendidly well for Pochettino. Despite comfortably leading the Ligue 1 charts by 11 points, PSG have been knocked out of the Coupe de France by OGC Nice in the Round of 16.
According to Spanish outlet MARCA, the Parisian outfit could appoint former Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane even before the end of the current season.
Mauricio Pochettino could end up at Manchester United if he decides to leave PSG
Mauricio Pochettino is currently one of the leading candidates to become the next Manchester United manager ahead of the 2022-23 season.
According to The Athletic, United have identified four managers to take over Ralf Rangnick on a permanent basis. These include Mauricio Pochettino, Luis Enrique, Julen Lopetegui and Erik Ten Hag.
It is worth mentioning that Pochettino is the only manager from the shortlist who has prior experience of managing in the Premier League.
According to FootMercato, the 49-year-old manager is keen on a return to the Premier League with Manchester United looking like the most likely destination.
It is highly unlikely that Mauricio Pochettino will remain as PSG manager beyond the 2021-22 season. The Argentine coach has four important months ahead of him as he looks to win the Champions League with the Ligue 1 giants.
They have been drawn against Real Madrid in the Round of 16. The first leg of the tie is set to take place in Paris on February 15.

No one will manage this star player squad because of too much pride to be honest I don’t blame pochetino at all , sometimes you just need players to have joy in playing for you and defending their colors look at pep the players at Barca just wanted to play for him and that made it easy for him to be a top manger same thing with conte at inter within a short time inter improved in a snap of finger at Spurs pochetino made it to the final of the UCL on a very slim squad if levy was smart enough he was going to get more players for pochetino to give it another try to getting at least a title unfortunately he didn’t and sacked him

It just shows Pochotino is incompetent where he has all the best players with him. Pep Guardiola could replace him at PSG if Man City can't win the Champions league this year.

He's telling Man United come and get me. He knows if PSG lost to Real Madrid in the Champions league his days are numbered. PSG will be looking for new manager.

He should just admit that he can't handle superstars players. I rate him highly when he was Spurs manager. Now I don't see him as one of the best managers. I domt see Man United winning the EPL TITLE with him. It will be a roller coaster for Man United as they will still be struggling to finish in 4th placing.

He is subpar and not up to the job. Coached Spurs? Just like Paris Hylton. Famous for being famous. Way out of his depth.

No manager will succeed in PSG due to dump management. PSG works on profitability rather than Technicality.

Should be the other way around, PSG tired of Pochettino. I don't know why PSG signed him in the 1st place and they should get rid of him right away.
