Paris Saint-Germain boss Mauricio Pochettino revealed that he would love to stay at the club and hopes the owners would support him like Pep Guardiola at Manchester City. Despite winning the Ligue 1 last season, Pochettino is under immense pressure at the club after failing to deliver in the Champions League. Jose Mourinho and Zinedine Zidane are two of the names linked to the club recently.
“I have one year left on my contract and there are a lot of rumors. Every week I am fired. PSG arouses this kind of thing. The club is trying to reinvent itself. The president will soon explain his new project, but I’m calm,” Paris Saint-Germain boss Mauricio Pochettino said. “To get there (at PSG), you have to be a good coach and after a year and a half there, I feel like one of the best. To lead a locker room with so many stars was a daily learning experience. We were very close to knocking out Madrid, like Chelsea, City, and Liverpool. We went through it. I think we were far superior, but we missed the finishing touch. If the objective is to win the Champions League, it is normal to generate this kind of storm.”
“You have to give value to the championship and the cup (in Paris). The Champions League is a competition that has very few games,” he added. “There are things that I don’t understand. The storm started after Madrid was eliminated. We won the league, like other coaches like [Laurent] Blanc or [Carlo] Ancelotti did. I like City because they gave Guardiola the opportunity to build. They gave him time. At PSG, you also need that. By giving serenity to this project, we will be close to winning the Champions League.”
