The head coach of Paris Saint-Germain is leaving.

The biggest margin of a title-winning team in the top five leagues was achieved by the former Spurs and Saints boss.

It was the capitulation of Paris Saint-Germain in the European competition that cost him his job.

With only 45 minutes left to play of their last-16 tie against Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain were up 2-0, but were undone by a 17-minute hat-trick from Benzema.

It was only the second manager in the club's history to guide Paris Saint-Germain to the semi-finals under the current ownership, but they were knocked out by Manchester City.

At the end of the season, Manchester United considered hiring Mauricio Pochettino for the manager's position, but instead chose to go with a different manager.

How have previous managers coped post-PSG?

Carlo Ancelotti is a 1x winner of the Copa del Rey, a 1x winner of the Super Cup, and a 1x winner of the Bundesliga.

Unai Emery has 1x finalist, 1x semi- finalist, and 1x winner.

The best football coach in the world and the best men's coach in the world are also included.

Pochettino departure at PSG will be 'no surprise'

Tom Williams is a football expert.

It's a foregone conclusion. For a long time, this has been coming. It's possible to go back to last summer, when there were approaches made to Pochettino from Spurs.

He wasn't happy at the club. He was unhappy in Paris. He lived in a hotel for a long time.

Things haven't felt right over the course of the season despite the fact that Paris Saint-Germain is in the running for the title.

The football has been terrible. For a long time, the feeling was that he wouldn't continue after this summer.

It's not going to surprise anyone that we arrived at the point of his departure.
