PSG manager odds: Pochettino facing sack, Zinedine Zidane favourite


Mauricio Pochettino looks set to leave French champions Paris Saint-Germain after 18 months in charge according to multiple reports.

The former Tottenham manager took over from Thomas Tuchel midway through the 2020/21 campaign, a season which saw PSG pipped to the title by Lille and beaten in the Champions League semi-finals by Manchester City.

While this season saw Pochettino deliver Ligue 1, failure to progress beyond the last-16 stage of the Champions League, where they collapsed against eventual winners Real Madrid, is believed to have cost him his job.

Zidane is odds-on to replace Pochettino

France legend and former Real head coach Zinedine Zidane is the current odds-on favourite to replace Pochettino in the French capital.
