PSG confirm Thomas Tuchel as new coach
Thomas Tuchel has been appointed as the new coach of Paris Saint-Germain on a two-year deal.
The 44-year-old German has agreed to succeed Unai Emery, who will leave the Qatar-owned side after the final game of the French season.
"It is with much joy, pride and ambition that I am joining this big club," said Tuchel in a statement released by PSG.
"I can't wait to start working with all these great players who are all amongst the best in the world.
"Paris Saint-Germain has enormous potential and it is by far the most exciting proposition in football."
Tuchel was recommended directly to Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani by the Qatari consul in Germany.
At one point linked to Arsenal before Arsene Wenger announced he would be leaving the Premier League club, Tuchel will begin his new role in early July with the start of pre-season training.
It was an open secret that Tuchel had been lined up as the next coach of the ambitious club from the French capital.
