Mauricio Pochettino has informed Paris Saint-Germain of his desire to leave the club this summer.

Mauricio Pochettino has informed Paris Saint-Germain of his desire to leave the club
PSG had planned to keep working with the Argentine, despite the team’s failure to hold onto the Ligue 1 title last season.
However, Pochettino has reportedly asked to terminate his contract – which was due to run until 2022.
Although Pochettino has stated his desire to leave the club, he will reportedly respect whatever decision the club make regarding his future.
Should Pochettino be granted the opportunity to leave this summer, he could return to the Premier League or join LaLiga.

Pochettino has been named as the favourite to replace Zinedine Zidane at Real Madrid
Pochettino has been named as the favourite to replace Zinedine Zidane at Real Madrid.
Zidane left the Bernabeu for the second time after seeing his side knocked out of the Champions League by Chelsea and finishing second behind Atletico Madrid in LaLiga.
Initially, Real wanted former Juventus boss Maximiliano Allegri to take the hotseat but the Italian club have moved quickly and he is set to replace Andrea Pirlo after an abject season in Turin.
As a result, they have turned their attention to Pochettino – who replaced Thomas Tuchel in Paris at the start of the year.
Pochettino has also been linked with a sensational return to former club Tottenham
Should he agree to return, he will ask star striker Harry Kane to stay for another year
Having guided the club to victory in the Coupe de France and Trophee des Champions, Tottenham have also been linked with the 49-year-old.
Spurs are in crisis after their worst season in 12 years which has left them without a manager, an unsettled squad likely soon to be without its world class striker, and a furious fan base who are watching the decline unfold helplessly.
Therefore, it is believed the club will open talks with Pochettino over a dramatic return to the club. During the talks – which are due to start next week – the former boss set to ask star striker Harry Kane to stay for one more year if he does go back to the club.
