New PSG coach Pochettino tells players: Follow me and we'll produce magic!

New PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino has plans for a new style of football and a new sense of unity at the club.

The former Tottenham manager was appointed PSG coach yesterday.

He said, "I am a coach who is close to his players. The demands and expectations are high, I like it when the relationship is almost a friendship between the players and the entire staff. And I want all of the people who are involved with the club, stadium and Ooredoo Centre to feel like a part of this project.

"There has always been a tradition of excellence in this club, the players must deserve to wear this jersey. I think the current squad is amazing, I think we can accomplish what the club want, and what the players want, because they are competitors who want to lift trophies.

"Our main goal is to get everyone to pull in the same direction. We want to put in place a mentality, a game philosophy, and that everyone adheres to it. The idea is that everyone should want to win for the club above all else.

"We want to be a strong club, with a strong structure. When everyone, from the players to the staff, to the management, experiences the same emotions, it's something magical."
