French champions Paris St Germain have named former Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino as their new manager after sacking Thomas Tuchel, the Ligue 1 outfit said on Saturday.

German Tuchel, who led PSG to the Champions League final in August which they lost to Bayern Munich, was dismissed on Christmas Eve following a 4-0 win over Racing Strasbourg.
