Yahoo Finance Mauricio Pochettino signs Paris Saint-Germain contract extension until 2023
Maurcio Pochettino has signed a one-year contract extension with Paris Saint-Germain.
Pochettino agreed a deal until 2022 when he joined PSG in January but his deal now runs until June 2023.
The 49-year-old had emerged as a surprise contender for the Tottenham job but talks over a sensational return to Spurs stalled and they then appointed Nuno Espirito Santo.
Pochettino said: “I’m really very happy, for myself and also for my staff.
“It’s very important for us to feel the confidence of the club and we will give our maximum so that the supporters are proud of Paris Saint-Germain.
“That’s why we will try and reach our objectives all together, as one. Twenty years ago I was captain of this club and today I am the coach… It’s a dream come true.”
Appointed following the sacking of Thomas Tuchel, Pochettino led PSG to the semi-finals or the Champions League semi-finals where they were knocked out by Manchester City.

“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.”
