Former PSG sports director Jean-Michel Moutier has hit out at the sacking of Thomas Tuchel.

Moutier feels the decision to axe Tuchel on Christmas Eve was disappointing timing.

"Tuchel certainly deserved better treatment than learning of his dismissal on Christmas Eve," he told franceinfo.

"I wasn't expecting it, especially in this way."

Tuchel was shown the door having seen PSG thump Strasborug 4-0 earlier in the week.
