Thomas Tuchel is sacked in Paris on Christmas Eve, to be replaced by Mauricio Pochettino. Was he hard done by? Or is he destined to always fall out with the hierarchy? And can Pochettino impose his pressing style on PSG?

He’s not the only managerial mover. Schalke have hired Christian Gross of tube ticket fame. And after 27 years out of club management, Nantes have appointed former France coach and star sign enthusiast Raymond Domenech.

In Italy, Milan are still unbeaten and Andrea Pirlo’s Juventus manage to lose 6 points in a day. Are the Old Lady already out of the title race?

Plus Messi, Slutsky and Choupo-Moting.
