Ligue 1: Pochettino makes £25m in 3 years from double dismissal
Mauricio Pochettino will walk away with a fortune after his sacking by PSG.
Pochettino has been informed he will be dismissed by PSG with a year to run on his contract.
Marca says the entirety of the manager’s package will cost PSG a total of £12.8million (€15m).
While Pochettino will inevitably be disappointed with the sporting aspect of him exiting the French champions, he will still benefit economically.

It follows less than three years on from Pochettino’s exit from Spurs, where he was also entitled to a sizable exit fee when the North London club decided to dismiss him in November 2019.
Pochettino and his backroom staff (including assistant Jesus Perez and coaches Miguel D’Agostino and Antoni Jimenez) were entitled to more than £20million in payoffs from Spurs as the coach had penned a five-year extension to his deal in May 2018, meaning he had three-and-a-half years of that deal remaining at the time of his exit from North London. Of that total sum, he was reported to have been entitled to a payoff of £12.5million from the club.
