PSG are still looking for a new coach. Unless there is a twist, the lucky winner will not be Zinedine Zidane. Until now, no plan B had been seriously studied.
The management of PSG has been hard at work for several days to find a new coach. Mauricio Pochettino will indeed be thanked and the club of the capital wants to launch a new project with at its head, a new strong man on his bench. As recently recalled by the specialized press, PSG hesitates between Zinedine Zidane and Christophe Galtier. The first is the choice of Qatar when the second is a man close to Luis Campos. Doha has been in tough negotiations with Zidane’s clan for several weeks but according to RMCZ refused the advances of PSG, with the pretext of the fierce desire to take over the French team after the 2022 World Cup. A failure therefore for QSI which made Daniel Riolo react.

On his account Twitter, the consultant has indeed given his opinion on the strategy of PSG with his next coach. According to him, it left something to be desired. « 1/ first failure in negotiations for Qatar which will have dragged on until June 20 to have a plan B coach. 2/ Zidane bets on a failure of the Blues at the World Cup 3/ he does not close the door for the future 4/ From Zidane to Galtier, psg hasn’t planned anything so QSI was sure to succeed., said Daniel Riolo, surprised by the failure of PSG in its negotiations with Zidane. If the Zidane track was therefore definitively buried for this summer, everything suggests that it is indeed Christophe Galtier who will take the reins of the capital club.
A plan B which has only just been confirmed in recent days with the approach of Parisian leaders with their Nice counterparts. So far, apart from the very personal forcing of Luis Campos, PSG had simply not studied any other solution, being convinced that Zidane would end up saying yes to the champion of France. Galtier therefore has absolutely no competition for the moment. A unique opportunity for the Nice coach, who would also have validated the arrivals of Vitinha (FC Porto) and Renato Sanches (Lille). With PSG, Galtier would enter a new dimension. No gift will be given to him and his group of stars will have to be managed to perfection. For this, Luis Campos will play a big role in supporting him and managing egos.
Galtier and Campos, a promising duo
If PSG fans were certainly expecting something very heavy and the arrival of Zidane to replace Mauricio Pochettino, they can be reassured in view of the agreement between the Galtier-Campos duo. Both men have previously worked together at Lille and are renowned for their love of football. On the set of The Evening TeamHervé Penot has also praised the merits of the new sports adviser of PSG. “Campos, he is considered the best recruiter in the world, he is able to shape teams through his recruitments. And then all of a sudden, he wouldn’t know anything about it. He was José Mourinho’s assistant, he knows what a very high level is. When he was in Lille, he had chosen to take Christophe Galtier. And at the time, he didn’t know him too well. But he got to know him and realized his qualities. That’s why the first thing he did was to choose him on the PSG bench. He plays his head on it Campos, so you think he’s going to do anything? No. He knows that Galtier is someone who can bring a lot to PSG. The club is enough enough fallen into this mistake of bling bling”, said the journalist, impatient to see what Galtier and Campos will bring to PSG. Because the means will be great this summer to renew the workforce. Small flat all the same, the club of the capital will have to sell some of its undesirables. This is perhaps the biggest challenge of the Paris transfer window …
