Jakarta –
Mauricio Pochettino must be vigilant. Judging from the Ligue 1 situation, his position as coach Paris Saint Germain predictable completely unsafe.
Pochettino actually just handled PSG in January. Not long after, he then won the first trophy in his coaching career after leading Les Parisien to win the French Super Cup.
However, the situation beyond that result does not appear positive. Paris Saint-Germain has been eliminated in the semifinals of the Champions League, after becoming a finalist last year, after being dominated by Manchester City in both legs. Already like that, PSG currently must also be willing to be in second place in the competition for the Ligue 1 title.
Paris Saint Germain, which stood at 75 points from 35 matches, finished second in the French League standings. The wealthy club is just below Lille, who lead the standings with 76 points from 36 matches.
This is what Tony Cascarino, a football commentator who used to play in France for six years, think, is creating Mauricio Pochettino can not calm down. His career at PSG could only be as long as that if in the end the Ligue 1 title was struck by Lille.
“If they don’t win the league, and they also go out 1-4 on aggregate in the Champions League, PSG will be very capable of sacking Pochettino,” said Cascarino at the Weekend Sports Breakfast talkSPORT event.
Cascarino said PSG officials had big expectations for their coach and would not hesitate to make sackings, as did Roman Abramovich at Chelsea. Especially if PSG are ahead of Lille in fighting for the Ligue 1 title.
“Ligue 1 champion Lille is considered worse than Premier League champion Leicester, (because the level) his team is much lower. Lille is the second largest team in the region, RC Lens is a much bigger club in Northeastern France,” he said.
“It will be like Sunderland winning the league by beating Man City. Sorry to Sunderland fans if I upset you, but that’s the most fitting comparison.”
“He (Pochettino) was brought in to do the job of Thomas Tuchel before that, which was to continue winning the league and bringing Paris Saint Germain closer to the Champions League title. Pochettino failed to do both! “said Cascarino.
