And so the soap opera at Paris Saint-Germain continues to offer lots of froth. Mauricio Pochettino, the man who led the side to the 2022 Ligue 1 title and two other trophies, has been deemed unfit for purpose. And Christophe Galtier, who steered Lille to the 2021 French crown, has been anointed as a possible replacement.

A strange choice if it is ultimately confirmed. Pochettino boasts the credentials. His Tottenham Hotspur side, which reached the 2019 Champions League final, was among the big hitters of the English Premier League during his five and a half year reign in north London.
