Mauricio Pochettino’s time as Paris Saint-Germain coach is expected to end soon, as the two parties have reportedly consented to terminate the Argentine’s contract.
Pochettino will leave PSG eighteen months after taking over the Ligue 1 team and failing to lead them to Champions League success.
PSG and Pochettino agreed to part ways after a meeting last week, according to The Athletic. It looks like the Argentine’s contract will be terminated soon, as the two parties have apparently reached an agreement.

PSG won the Ligue 1 title last season but were knocked out of the Champions League by Real Madrid in the Round of 16.
The only thing that remains uncertain is what kind of arrangement the two sides have reached on the termination of his contract, which extends through the summer of 2023.
Meanwhile, sporting director Leonardo will leave the club, whose owners are eager to rebuild the team and staff.

However, this has previously been disputed on multiple occasions, not by the coach, but by his agent and others close to him.
The Athletic reports that Nice coach Christopher Galtier is the frontrunner to take over at PSG.
Meanwhile, other reports suggest Roma coach Jose Mourinho as a possible successor to Pochettino.
