STORY: French champions Paris St Germain have sacked coach Thomas Tuchel, with the side sitting third in the league and within a point of leaders Olympique Lyonnais, the Ligue 1 club said in a statement on Tuesday (December 29).

"I would like to thank Thomas Tuchel and his staff for everything they brought to the club," PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi said. "Thomas has put a lot of energy and passion into his work and of course we'll remember the good times we shared together. I wish him the best for his future."
