Maurcio Pochettino has signed a one-year contract extension with Paris Saint-Germain to continue as manager..
Pochettino joined PSG in January and penned a deal until June 2022. His contract with the French giants now runs until June 2023.
The 49-year-old was a surprise contender for the vacancy at former club Tottenham Hotspur, following the departure of Jose Mourinho, but talks stalled and Tottenham moved for Nuno Espirito Santo instead.
Pochettino’s staff have also been handed contract extensions of the same length.
“Having also captained the team 20 years ago, he understands the club values, ambition and vision for the future. With Mauricio’s leadership, we’re excited and confident about what the future holds.”
Appointed following the sacking of Thomas Tuchel, Pochettino took charge in the midst of a very competitive Ligue 1 title race.
Lille won the title by a point thanks to a 2-1 victory over Angers. Pochettino’s side were knocked out by Manchester City in the Champions League semi-finals.
On the positive side, the Argentine claimed the first two trophies of his managerial career, winning the Trophee des Champions in January and the Coupe de France in May.
