In the Champions League, PSG were ousted by Manchester City 3-2 on aggregate which led to club president Nasser al-Khelaifi declaring their season as a &ldquo;failure&rdquo; earlier this month.
On Monday, Khelaifi in a club statement said, &rdquo;As we embark on a new chapter in the development of the club, I would like to thank Laurent Blanc for everything he has achieved over the last three years, both in terms of the playing style and results.&rdquo;
Assistant coach Jean-Louis Gasset and head fitness trainer Philippe Lambert, would also leave the club as part of the agreement.
&ldquo;During his three years at the club, Blanc guided the side to 11 trophies, including two national quadruples, and left a significant mark on the great history of Paris Saint-Germain,&rdquo; the statement added.
