The 56 year old had committed to a two season contract last summer but has now been relieved of his duties. PSG lifted the Ligue 1 title as they pipped Lens just by a solitary point this season.

Despite changing the manager pretty frequently PSG's luck hasn't really ed and their priority would be to stamp their authority in the Champions League which hasn't been the case so far. Led by Kylian Mbappe, PSG's next sporting project would demand a manager who would be able to deliver on the European front. It remains to be seen who eventually sits on the PSG throne as he will have a monstrous task at his disposal.
