On December 23, 2020, on the evening of a large victory for the PSG in front of Strasbourg (4-0), the Paris SG decided to part ways with Thomas Tuchel. A surprising decision in itself, given the conflicting relationship between the German technician and the sports director of Paris SG, Leonardo.
However, the timing was surprising. Indeed, Tuchel in particular qualified the PSG for the knockout stages of Champions League. A brutal decision that even surprised the new coach of Chelsea.
“On the evening of the 22nd, I felt it for the first time during a conversation with the sporting director (Leonardo). I felt that it could be a possibility, but it did not seem real. a new conversation on December 23 before the game. Then we won 4-0 and then we had a conversation that only lasted two minutes. (…) So I got up, I said he needed to fix it and I left. We emptied our office and went home to celebrate Christmas. “ said Thomas Tuchel to Sky Germany before discussing its rapid rebound at Chelsea.
