UNAI EMERY has confirmed he is standing down as Paris Saint-Germain boss at the end of the season.
The Spaniard guided PSG to the Ligue 1 title this year as they reclaimed the crown from Monaco.
Ex-Borussia Dortmund boss Thomas Tuchel has been widely touted as the Emery’s successor and is expected to take over in the summer.
Emery made the announcement at a press conference on Friday, suggesting it was his own decision and that he informed sporting director Antero Henrique and chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
Emery is now poised to step down after PSG face third-tier Les Herbiers in the French Cup final at the Stade de France in Paris on May 8.
The former Sevilla boss, 46, said: “I have told the players, Antero and the president that it is finished. I thank everybody. All that remains is the Coupe de France final.

“After an hour-long meeting between friends, I will leave with respect.
“If they ask me, I will help the new coach.
“First of all, PSG must be strong domestically – I believe in this project.”
