We have the latest on Mauricio Pochettino’s imminent arrival to PSG. It’s about to go down over the weekend for the Argentine manager. 

Mauricio Pochettino has been negotiating his new contract with PSG over the last couple of weeks. The most recent report acknowledges sporting director Leonardo making decisions to get the new manager everything he is requesting. Fabrizio Romano reported that Mauricio was spending the holidays in London before making his trip to Paris and they can finally make an announcement.

Paris Saint-Germain gets a former player of theirs as the new manager but with the credentials necessary to take on the role. We will get to experience a new era at PSG where the coach has a very specific offensive style that he showed during his time at Tottenham. Pending the official announcement, it’s finally time for Pochettino to take on this new challenge in his professional career. 

Pochettino’s first order of business. 

As soon as he arrives, Mauricio Pochettino already has an outlined plan for the squad. The very first order of business will be to convince Neymar and Kylian Mbappe that staying at PSG is the best option for their careers. Convincing the Brazilian might not be as difficult after knowing he is finally happy at his club. However, getting to convince young Kylian will be a real challenge for Pochettino.

The French forward’s dream is to someday play in the Spanish La Liga but the Argentine manager has a plan to at least keep him for a few more years. Also, Pochettino has repeatedly requested that the club makes an effort to sign Lionel Messi during the summer transfer window. As we all know, the Barcelona star can negotiate with any club he wants starting today. It’s only a matter of hours for Pochettino to be announced at PSG.
