Mauricio Pochettino has reportedly been sacked by Paris Saint-Germain after he reached a severance agreement with the club.
The 50-year-old, who only took charge 18 months ago, finished 15 points clear at the top as he led them to the Ligue 1 title in his first full season at the helm.
However, despite leading Real Madrid 2-0 at one stage of their Champions League tie, the 3-2 exit to the eventual winners left both supporters and PSG chiefs frustrated.
And that was a huge factor in the alleged mutual decision for him to depart Parc des Princes.
It was ESPN that initially claimed he had been sacked – although no official announcement has yet been made.
It has now been reported that Nice head coach Christophe Galtier is the favourite to replace ex-Tottenham man Pochettino after Luis Campos replaced Leonardo as sporting director.
