Former Tottenham gaffer, Mauricio Pochettino, has reportedly reached an agreement with Paris Saint Germain to become their next coach.

This report was disclosed by popular sports journalist, Fabrizio Romano on his verified Twitter handle.

Recall that the Parisian side fired its interim coach, Thomas Tuchel on Christmas eve after guiding them to their first-ever Champions League final last term.

Following Tuchel’s sack, reports form local media revealed that Pochettino was leading the race to become the new PSG manager.

Romano, in a tweet to his 2.2m follower, said: “Mauricio Pochettino has reached an agreement with Paris Saint-Germain, confirmed. Now it’s time to prepare the contracts, sort out the last details [as the choice of the techincal staff] and sign.”

Recall that Tuchel led PSG to a 4-0 home win against Racing Strasbourg less than 24 hours ago to move the defending champions within a point of Ligue 1 leaders Olympique Lyonnais.

The 47-year-old was appointed PSG head coach in 2018 and has won two Ligue 1 titles along with a domestic quadruple in his second season at the club.

While PSG are not dominating Ligue 1 this term as they have in previous years, Tuchel has steered them into the Champions League last 16 where they face Barcelona.
