In the 2021\u201322 season, PSG claimed the league with a lead of 15 points, but Pochettino was replaced on Tuesday for failing to lead them to their maiden Champions League crown.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83c\udd95\u270d\ufe0f\ud83d\udcbc<\/p>\n<p>Paris Saint-Germain is delighted to announce that Christophe Galtier has been appointed as first team head coach. <\/p>\n<p>\u2764\ufe0f\ud83d\udc99 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ICICESTPARIS?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ICICESTPARIS<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/iE0zJ1nz8c\">pic.twitter.com\/iE0zJ1nz8c<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Paris Saint-Germain (@PSG_English) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PSG_English\/status\/1544301490013147136?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 5, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Galtier has been assigned the position at PSG and has the favour of current sporting director Luis Campos.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">Campos and Galtier formerly teamed at Lille to build the side that closely edged PSG to the Ligue 1 cup in 2020\u201321.
