Paris Saint-Germain manager Mauricio Pochettino won't be on the touchline this weekend after testing positive for COVID-19, the Ligue 1 side announced.

His assistant coaches, Jesus Perez and Miguel D’Agostino, will oversee Saturday's away fixture against Angers while the 48-year-old is in self-isolation.

Pochettino returned a positive result just days after celebrating PSG's French Cup triumph over Marseille. It was the first major trophy of his managerial career.

The former Tottenham Hotspur coach took charge on Jan. 2 after PSG parted with German manager Thomas Tuchel in December.
