Kylian Mbappe reacts to sack of Tuchel as PSG manager

Paris Saint-Germain forward, Kylian Mbappe, has paid tribute to manager, Thomas Tuchel, after he was sacked by the club on Thursday.

Mbappe thanked Tuchel for writing a wonderful part of PSG’s history, adding that nobody will forget the German’s time in charge at the Le Parc des Princes.

PSG sacked Tuchel on Thursday following the club’s 4-0 win over Racing Strasbourg on Wednesday.

Tuchel won four domestic trophies last season and led PSG to the Champions League final where they lost 1-0 to Bayern Munich.

The 47-year-old is set to be replaced by former Tottenham Hotspur manager, Mauricio Pochettino.

Reacting, Mbappe, who had a fiery touchline bust-up with Tuchel during PSG’s clash with Montpellier in February 2020, wrote on Instagram: “It is sadly the law of football.

“Nobody will forget your time here.

“You wrote a wonderful part of the club’s history, and I say to you thank you, coach.”
