Paris Saint-Germain boss, Mauricio Pochettino refused to be drawn into recommendations that previous Real Madrid head coach, Zinedine Zidane will change him at Le Parc des Princes. Reports had actually recently emerged that Zidane is the one who will take Pochettino’s place at PSG.

Pochettino has been heavily linked with a relocate to Manchester United.

His contract with PSG is due to expire in June 2023.

However Pochettino has actually now said that talk of Zidane replacing him at PSG will need to be decided by the club’s owner, Nasser Al-Khelaifi and sporting director Leonardo.

“I do not know. It is not up to me to choose,” Pochettino told Cadena SER when asked if he sees Zidane as his replacement as soon as he leaves.

“Zidane is a great coach, he currently showed it at Real Madrid.

“He can train any trainer on the planet. He is French. That is one more concern for the sporting director or the president. Look, when Zinedine Zidane was at Real Madrid, the number of rumours didn’t come out of me [when I was] in England?

“When we organize a club with the presence of PSG, we understand that this comes with the position. That needs to be accepted. Otherwise, I might not be sitting here in front of you today as PSG coach,” he included.
