Mauricio Pochettino has discussed his sacking by PSG.

The ex-Tottenham boss was sacked by the French giants a month ago and recently gave his first comments since departing to the Argentine media.

"Everything is focused on the Champions League and sometimes that distracts a bit and that requirement seems to only exist in the Champions League preview and in other competitions it seems like PSG's superiority," Pochettino said.

"The obsession is the Champions League and everything that is not winning the Champions League is synonymous with failure."

Pochettino is now one of the most attractive names on the market for the top clubs of Europe, but he says he is happy with how his tenure at PSG worked out.

"I am calm, I accept the circumstances that we had to live through. It all ended quite late, and I have to analyse everything that has happened in the last 18 months at Paris Saint-Germain.

"I think it has been very positive. You always have to capitalize on experiences and learn from them. The only thing I can say is that they have always treated me well, they have treated us all well and that I will always be grateful."
