PSG Names Thomas Tuchel As New Coach

Paris Saint-Germain have announced that Thomas Tuchel has signed a 2-year deal as their next coach.

Tuchel, former Borussia Dortmund manager, will replace outgoing Unai Emery at the Parc des Princes.

“It is with great joy, pride and ambition that I join this great global football club that is Paris Saint-Germain,” said Tuchel in a statement released on Monday by PSG.

“I look forward to working with all these great players, all of whom are among the best on the planet. With my staff, we will do everything to help the team push their limits to the highest international level. There is tremendous potential in Paris and this is the most exciting challenge that has come to me.”

Emery joined the Ligue 1 champions in 2016, winning the Ligue 1 title and the French Cup this season, but saw his side eliminated by Real Madrid in the last 16 of the Champions League.

His spell with the French champions will come to an end after PSG’s final game of the season at Caen on Saturday.
