Former PSG assistant coach Low has talked about the truth behind the sacking of the German coach Tuchel

“We were surprised because on the 23rd of December, after a 4-0 match against Strasbourg, the club’s sports director, Leonardo, invited us to say he didn’t expect Thomas to work in the future,” Low said. “After having to deal with considerable difficulties, we had historic success with the PSG, we advanced to the Champions League in the fall, making the decision a bit incomprehensible.

“Compared to the fact that we were hampered by countless injuries throughout the season, and we also had to deal with the coronavirus, I think it was a great professional achievement to close the year this way. We have outperformed, that is the truth.”

“In other words, the announcement hit us like a bolt from the blue,” Low said. “The summer transfer period did not turn out as we would have liked, with key players leaving before and after the UCL final game in August; they could not be replaced properly.

“This also created tension between some club leaders and the professional staff, as well as the fact that the sports director professed different principles of governance than the head coach. I can’t immerse myself in the details, let’s stick to that, they had different ideas in many areas, and the difference in view grew over time.

“This led to Leonardo deciding to envision the future with a different staff. Let’s be honest this condition would not have been sustainable in the long run. Sooner or later, the professional work, and thus the performance of the team, would have seen a detriment. Looking at it from here, it was better now, almost at the top, to say goodbye in our bag with the vast majority of beautiful memories.”
