New Paris St Germain manager Mauricio Pochettino has tested positive for Covid-19 and he has gone into self-isolation, the French Ligue 1 club said on Friday.
"Paris Saint-Germain manager Mauricio Pochettino has tested positive for Sars-Cov2 after a PCR test. He will now be in isolation and follow the appropriate medical advice," the club said in a statement.
Pochettino, who was appointed earlier this month and replaced sacked German manager Thomas Tuchel, claimed his first piece of silverware in only his third game in charge when PSG won the French Super Cup on Wednesday.
Last year's Ligue 1 season was cut short by the pandemic and PSG were crowned winners for a seventh time in eight years when the campaign was suspended with 10 games left as part of the government's measures to contain the spread of the virus
