It’s no secret that under manager Mauricio Pochettino there have been various criticisms over his tactics and the lack of dominance Paris Saint-Germain has given off during his year and a half stint as the bench boss.
However, it seems as though the supporters weren’t the only ones expressing frustration over the game plan. In an interview with BFMTV , Kylian Mbappe has insisted that the French giants have lost the fear factor under Pochettino.
“This past season, we weren’t as fearsome; we were far less untouchable. We want to go back to being intimidating in France, something we have not done these past two years,” Mbappe said.
PSG won the Ligue 1 title by 15 points but was eliminated in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 in a humiliating fashion after they coughed up a lead. Then domestically, the capital club crashed out of the Coupe de France, failing to dominate French football as a consolation prize.
Now it seems as though Pochettino is out the door as the Ligue 1 champions discuss a severance pay to sack the Argentine tactician and bring in soon-to-be-former OGC Nice boss Christophe Galtier as part of this new project.
