'We knew there were situations that had to be changed': Thiago Silva reveals players saw Thomas Tuchel's PSG sacking coming LAST SEASON whilst he was still at the club as former captain backs new manager Mauricio Pochettino to thrive

Thiago Silva has revealed he saw Thomas Tuchel's PSG sacking coming when he was still at the club and the former captain has also backed the appointment of Mauricio Pochettino.

The Brazilian defender left the Parc des Prince in the summer to join Chelsea after Tuchel led them to the Ligue 1 title and the Champions League final.

The German was dismissed on Christmas Eve just hours after a 4-0 victory over Strasbourg, and only four months from that narrow final defeat to Bayern Munich.
