PSG will have to face a significant amount of money in case they want to fire Mauricio Pochettino in June. After having disbursed €22 million in 2016 to fire Laurent Blanc and after having paid Tuchel €8 million in 2020 for the settlement, the next one who could leave for a considerable sum is the Argentine coach, who is on the wire after the elimination of the Champions League round of 16 and his work is not meeting expectations of a project born by and to achieve the maximum continental competition.
Currently, Pochettino is the highest paid manager in Ligue 1 by a wide margin. The santafesino receives 1.1 million € gross per month, placing only behind Simeone (3M monthly), Guardiola (1.89), Klopp, Conte (1.49) or Allegri (1.17) among the highest paid coaches in European football. Separating from Pochettino would be a grievance for PSG, since the Parisian group is with the noose to the neck during the present exercise after having accumulated a deficit of 200 million €.
According to the information de L’Équipe, if PSG want to release their current technical staff, they will have to pay €20 million. ANDhe dismissal of Pochettino would not cost less than €15 million and to this we must add Jesús Perez, his assistant coach, who earns €80,000 a month; Miguel D’Agostino, whose salary is €50,000 and Toni Jiménez, goalkeeping coach, or Sebastiano Pochettino, his son, who earn €20,000 a month.
A little less than a year ago PSG announced the renewal of Pochettino until 2023 to calm the waters amid a wave of rumors that placed the former Tottenham manager outside of Paris. That may end up costing the club dearly, since, except for a last-minute surprise, the Argentine will not continue on the bench from next season.
