Laurent Blanc leaves Paris-Saint Germain

PSG have announced that manager Laurent Blanc has left the club after three seasons in charge.

Blanc is widely reported to have signed a settlement contract in the region of €22m and bows out with three Ligue 1 titles.

"When opening a new chapter in the development of the club, I would like to thank Laurent Blanc for all he has done in recent years in terms of play and results," said PSG President Nasser Al-Khelaifi.

"I wish him the best in the new challenges that await. "

PSG are now said to be looking to secure the services of Sevilla boss, Unai Emery, who guided the Spanish club to a trio of Europa League trophies.

The French giants have dominated on a domestic level, but will look to become a force in European competition. They have exited the Champions League at the quarter-final stage for the past three years, most recently against Manchester City.

Blanc, 50, previously had a spell as manager of the French national team and will won a domestic quadruple with PSG last season.
