[엑스포츠뉴스 김정현 인턴기자] The two coaches who lost in the Champions League final faced a ferocious fate.
On the 24th (Korea time), PSG coach Thomas Tuchel, who led the runner-up in the 2019/20 season in the UEFA Champions League, was hardened during the Christmas holidays.
On his behalf, PSG made contact with former PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino, who was on a break, and was now the most influential next coach.
A strange story was written by Tuhel’s hard work. The Champions League runner-up team manager made a case of being stiff during the following season for two consecutive seasons.
This started, unfortunately, Pochettino, who led Tottenham Hotspur in the 2018/19 season, miraculously defeating Ajax in the quarter-finals and reaching the final.
Pochettino, who lost helplessly to Liverpool in the final, was stiff during the A-match in November 2019 due to poor performance the next season, and the current manager Jose Mourinho took over.
Coach Tuhel also put PSG up to the second highest position in Europe, but the endless disagreement with the club, especially with general manager Leonardo, ended up being hardened. Of course, it is true that the league performance is currently not good at third place, but the cause of Tuchel’s hardship was an interview with the German media, who made a sniper remark.
Pochettino is expected to take on the new team again in about a year. In PSG, where he played as a player, he led brilliant stars such as Neymar and Killian Mbafe.
Meanwhile, it was reported that the stubborn coach Tuhel began negotiations with Arsenal in the Premier League immediately.
