After the report of Pochettino taking control at Paris Saint-Germain, we have the latest on his imminent arrival to the French giants.
Mauricio Pochettino coming to Paris Saint-Germain is more a matter of when than if. The Argentine manager has been negotiating his arrival throughout the week and he nearly comes to an agreement with the club. He never really placed any specific demands to PSG, the only issue was to reach an agreement with his contract.
As of right now, Pochettino is still in London but he has a scheduled trip to Paris for the weekend. By the time he arrives in the capital, he will sign his new contract and begin work with the players ASAP. There are a few details about his arrival that have been reported in the last couple of days. Mainly about his work plan and demands he will make to all the players, regardless of their star status.
Pochettino will be harsh from the beginning.
Both Le Parisien and L’Equipe have been talking about the new discipline Mauricio Pochettino will bring to the PSG players. Allegedly, Thomas Tuchel had a softer hand on some of the stars like Neymar and Kylian Mbappe. But Pochettino already warned he will make things difficult for everybody during practice and he will only play the ones who earn it during the week of training.
This comes directly in line with the same style he used during his Tottenham days. Although some Spurs players didn’t exactly enjoy getting the workload that Pochettino demanded from all of them. A new era will begin this weekend at PSG under Pochettino’s rule. However, everybody is questioning if the Argentine manager will be able to change the squad’s DNA. We all wonder if he can make them more successful than they already are.
