Thomas Tuchel has been sacked as manager of PSG, piling pressure on Mikel Arteta.

The German, who would be a viable alternative as Arsenal boss, has earned praise from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who played under him at Dortmund.

In 2018, the Gabonese star said of Tuchel: “He’s one of the best coaches that I’ve had. I can’t deny his talent.

“He’s someone a bit crazy, a little like me. You could say that his style is a bit like that of Guardiola. In any case, they play with the same spirit.”

“He likes to keep the ball with a style of play that likes to see the ball move forward, no matter what happens.

“I think he’s got the stuff. Now, it’ll be up to him to prove it.”
