French media reports have revealed that Paris Saint-Germain will decide to dismiss their Argentine coach Mauricio Pochettino if the team fails to win the UEFA Champions League title. According to the French newspaper "L'Équipe", the management of Paris Saint-Germain has informed Pochettino that his future at the Parc des Princes will end if the Champions League trophy is not secured.
The report noted that Paris Saint-Germain has spent significant amounts on the salaries of star players signed last summer, with the aim of winning the Champions League. The team boasts several stars, including Argentine Lionel Messi, Brazilian Neymar da Silva, French Kylian Mbappé, Spanish Sergio Ramos, Ángel Di María, Marco Verratti, and others.
Paris Saint-Germain will face Spanish side Real Madrid in the first leg of the round of 16 in the UEFA Champions League on February 15, with the return match taking place at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium on March 9. The team had previously exited the Coupe de France in the round of 16, losing to Nice in a penalty shootout after a goalless draw, in a match held on Monday evening at the Parc des Princes.
