Football fans have taken to their social media platforms to condemn the departure of Paris Saint-Germain head coach Mauricio Pochettino as the Argentine leave his role ahead of the upcoming season after 18 months in charge.

Pochettino is believed to have met the PSG hierarchy last week to discuss the 2021-22 campaign, during which his team won Ligue 1 but lost to eventual winners Real Madrid in the Champions League round of 16.

It is understood the conversation produced a mutual decision that the former PSG captain will not continue in the Parc des Princes dugout, with both sides identifying a parting of ways to be the most sensible step.

Given Pochettino’s contract was scheduled to expire in 2023, his exit still needs to be finalised. But the club have already looked for their new leader.

Pochettino’s exit will follow that of sporting director Leonardo last week. He was replaced by Luis Campos, who will work as PSG’s football advisor.

Pochettino had chances to depart the French capital last summer — Real placed him high on the list of candidates to succeed Zinedine Zidane and Tottenham Hotspur showed firm interest in naming their ex-manager as Jose Mourinho’s replacement — however, a move for the 50-year-old did not materialise.

That followed Pochettino establishing himself as just the third PSG boss to guide them to a European Cup semi-final, beating a Lionel Messi-inspired Barcelona and defending champions Bayern Munich en route.

His charges also lifted the French Cup and while they were surprisingly pipped to the top-flight crown by Lille, Pochettino had inherited a team which was third when he took over from Thomas Tuchel in January 2021 and improved their points-per-game ratio.

Some fans have taken to their micro blogging platform, Twitter to condemn the unfair manner the management of PSG parted ways with Pochettino.

Read some of the reactions:

@Gbolongo1

Very disrespectful for Football, the manner in which Zidane managed to convinced to pay Mbappe unacceptable amount and sacking Pochetinno was part of the deal so that Zidane is recruited.

@imre1th

Sacking is probably the best that happened to him at PSG. He deserves better.

Its a shame for Football
