Mauricio Pochettino has backtracked over comments he made on Kylian Mbappe’s future and vented his frustration over questions on his own plans at Paris Saint-Germain beyond this season.
The Argentine coach was recently booed by large sections of the PSG crowd when his name was read out ahead of kick-off amid reports that he is set to leave the club. It followed the supporter’s major protest at a Ligue 1 clash against Rennes in which they blasted the 'overpaid mercenaries' on their books and attacked the board.
It comes as Pochettino missed out on the Manchester United job, as the Red Devils confirmed the appointment of Ajax boss Erik ten Hag earlier this month after the 52-year-old met with United bosses last month to talk about becoming their new manager on a permanent basis. He has signed a contract until June 2025 with an option of a further year – meaning that Pochettino’s own future is now in doubt.
