- Luis Enrique set to be appointed
Paris Saint-Germain have confirmed the sacking of manager Christophe Galtier following the 2022/23 season.
Galtier joined Les Parisiens exactly one year ago, signing a two-year deal to replace now-Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino.
Despite winning Ligue 1, Galtier failed to improve PSG's fortunes on the continental front as the team suffered a rather embarrassing round of 16 exit in the Champions League for a second consecutive season - being knocked out by Bayern Munich.
A club statement on the decision to sack Galtier reads: "At the end of the 2022-2023 season, Paris Saint-Germain informed Christophe Galtier of its decision to terminate his contract as first-team coach.
"The Club would like to pay tribute to his professionalism and commitment, which helped the Rouge et Bleu win a historic eleventh French Championship title and a Trophee des Champions.

"After arriving at Paris Saint-Germain on 5 July 2022, Christophe Galtier began by winning the Trophee des Champions with his team on 31 July 2022, beating FC Nantes 4-0 in Tel Aviv. A week later, with a 5-0 win at Clermont, the club from the capital took top spot in Ligue 1 from Matchday 1, and never relinquished it for the rest of the season - a first in French Championship history.
"Under his guidance, Paris Saint-Germain won their 11th Ligue 1 title, becoming the most successful club in the history of the French Championship.
"The entire Paris Saint-Germain team would like to thank Christophe Galtier, as well as his assistants Thierry Oleksiak and Joao Sacramento, for their professionalism and commitment throughout the season, and wish them all the best for the rest of their careers."
90min understands that Luis Enrique is set to be appointed as Galtier's replacement at Parc Des Prince, with terms being agreed in mid-June between the club and manager.
