Paris Saint-Germain have confirmed the sacking of coach Thomas Tuchel.
The German, who led PSG to their first Champions League final in August, was dismissed on Christmas eve following a 4-0 win over Racing Strasbourg.
PSG said in a statement that they had decided to terminate Tuchel's contract after "an in-depth analysis of its sporting situation".
"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."
PSG sit third in the Ligue 1 table with 35 points from 17 games, one point behind league leaders Olympique Lyonnais and Lille.
They are also through to the last 16 of the Champions League, where they will face Barcelona.
Tuchel, 47, was appointed PSG boss in 2018 and guided them to two Ligue 1 titles along with a domestic quadruple in his second season at the club.
L’Equipe reported that former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is set to be named as Tuchel’s successor.
Pochettino, who played for PSG as a defender in the early 2000s, has been out of a job since being dismissed by Spurs in November, 2019, a few months after guiding the north London club to the Champions League final.
