PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN have paid off yet another manager after Mauricio Pochettino's sacking was confirmed on Tuesday.
The Argentine becomes the latest in a long list of high-profile coaches to fail to bring a first Champions League trophy to the French capital.
But the blow of his sacking will be softened by the £8.5million pay-off that PSG have handed him.
And the Ligue 1 champions are no strangers to handing managers large pay cheques in order to get rid of them.
As reported by AS, Laurent Blanc received more than £18m as he still had two years left on his existing deal when he was sacked back in 2016.
His successor Unai Emery did manage to see out his two-year deal before leaving the club.

Thomas Tuchel then arrived in 2018 but was due compensation when he was sacked after just two seasons.
PSG paid him £6m before he struck a deal with Chelsea just one month later.
With Pochettino's compensation now confirmed, it means the French outfit have spent a staggering £32.5m to get rid of managers over the past six years.
Former Saint-Etienne, Nice and Lille boss Christophe Galtier has been announced as Pochettino's replacement.
