Pochettino had won the Ligue 1 but failed to secure the
Champions League trophy for the club despite boasting of an all-star line-up
featuring Neymar, Lionel Messi and Mbappe.
In a statement on its official Twitter handle, the French
giants said: ‘Paris Saint-Germain confirm that Mauricio Pochettino has ended
his role at the club.
“We would like to thank Mauricio Pochettino and his staff
for their work and wish them the best for the future.”
Former Head coach of Nice, Christophe Galtier is expected to
be confirmed as his replacement on a two-year deal.

Pochettino joined the French giants in January 2021 on an
18-month contract to replace outgoing Thomas Tuchel.
The Argentine finished second in the league during his first
campaign, crashed out of the Champions League in the semi-finals, but won the
Coupe de France Final.
