Mauricio Pochettino, coach of Paris Saint-Germain, declared this Saturday, after winning the French League with his club by drawing against Lens (1-1) , who hopes to “achieve something bigger in the future” on the bench of the Parisian team.
Questioned about his season at PSG and with an uncertain future, the Argentine coach defended his job in statements to Ligue 1. Despite not achieve PSG’s main objective, the Champions League, Pochettino dropped that he thinks of a future hand in hand with the French entity.
“For everyone it is important to give the club another title. And on a personal level, I who have played here and been captain, after less than 18 months, having won three titles with this club is a great satisfaction. We hope to achieve something bigger in the future”, he pointed out.
In addition, he spoke about the whistles that Lionel Messi received during the game that played against Lens: “It’s incredible, these are difficult things to accept. Situations that are unlikely, that are not understood. How great it is, what it gives to football and what it will continue to give to football. Happy for him. I congratulated him after the game and one more title for his record ”, he concluded.
A tenth French league that does not hide a deep disappointment. Paris Saint-Germain certified their victory in the French championship on Wednesday, which they have dominated from start to finish, but which does not serve to mitigate the elimination in the round of 16 of the Champions League against Real Madrid.
With four days to go until the end of the league, the accounts are already coming out for the team from the capital, which can begin to think about the next season, which will be marked by two great unknowns: the continuity of the coach, Mauricio Pochettino, and of the star Kylian Mbappé.
The title has been evidence for weeks due to the enormous advantage that he has been accumulating over his rivals and He was only seen for sentencing after last Sunday’s victory in the “classic” against Olympique de Marseille, his main opponent.
The only thing missing was to set a date and end this period in which PSG moved in no man’s land. It was necessary to certify the tenth title in its history, the eighth since in 2011 was acquired by a Qatari sovereign wealth fund.
