The Argentine tactician has expressed his joy over being able to coach the club he once served as a captain.
Paris Saint-Germain have announced they’ve tied manager Mauricio Pochettino to a new contract with the club until June 2023.
Pochettino took the PSG managerial reins at the start of this year from Thomas Tuchel, who was relieved of his duties following a public fallout with the club’s hierarchy.
The former Tottenham boss had a mixed debut season at Parc des Princes as he failed to lead the team to Ligue 1 title success but was able to guide them to Trophee des Champions and Coupe de France glory.
As it turns out, however, the PSG hierarchy are convinced that the 49-year-old is the right man to take the club forward as they have now renewing him for another 12 months.
“I’m really very happy, for myself and also for my staff,” Pochettino told the club’s website.
“It’s very important for us to feel the confidence of the club and we will give our maximum so that the supporters are proud of Paris Saint-Germain.
“That’s why we will try and reach our objectives all together, as one. Twenty years ago I was captain of this club and today I am the coach… It’s a dream come true.”
PSG chief executive Nasser Al-Khelaifi added: “We are delighted that Mauricio has reaffirmed his commitment to the Paris Saint-Germain family.
“Having also captained the team 20 years ago, he understands the club values, ambition and vision for the future. With Mauricio’s leadership, we’re excited and confident about what the future holds.”
