Parisian press reports problems between the top star and the Argentine coach who will replace Tuchel.

It seems to be a matter of fact that Mauricio Pochettino will end as the new head coach of Paris Saint-Germain. French press reports that president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has already talked with the Argentine and arranged his arrival. The signature of the contract and some details are the only things missing.

Pochettino haven’t been working during this year, as he left Tottenham on November 2019 and since then he never trained again. Now he was called to replace Thomas Tuchel and thought this was a great opportunity for him. In his career, he managed Tottenham, RCF Espanyol and Southampton.

But the first problems are already appearing as it is reported that Pochettino will have a hard time with Neymar, PSG greatest star. The Brazilian idol has committed many undisciplined acts during his career and hates to have a coach that force him to make big efforts on training and pressures him too much.

Poche has always characterized himself as being a demanding coach, who forces his players to give their best. The parties, the rest and the privileges that Ney have maybe a problem for their relationship to be a good one, as local press reported this Monday. With his contract expiring soon (June 2022), it is already said that Neymar will be signing the new one soon and will stay at the club he joined on August 2017 in an all-time record transfer.
