According to information from RMC radio, the Portuguese coach, interested in Paris, represents the number 1 choice of Luis Campos. It remains to be seen whether the latter will have the last word on this file…
Christophe Galtier still feelslegitto train PSG, as he said recently. “I’m preparing next season with Luis Campos and the president“, he added. After a difficult second half of the season, his place is hanging by a thread. In fact, to see him at the head of the Parisian team at the start would be a huge surprise… Moreover, the leaders of the capital club are increasing contacts in order to find a new coach according to various sources. Téléfoot mentioned contacts with José Mourinho on Sunday. RMC goes further and talks aboutadvanced negotiations between Campos and Jorge Mendes“, the famous agent of the no less famous 60-year-old Portuguese technician, currently at the head of AS Roma, seventh in the Serie A standings, winner of the Europa League Conference last season and semi-finalist of the Europa League ( against Leverkusen) in a few days.
A priori, Campos and Mourinho – who have known each other for many years – would not have exchanged directly, but our colleagues reveal two important pieces of information: the PSG football adviser has made his compatriot his priority to succeed Galtier, while the “Special One” is interested in the Red and Blue. In fact, Mourinho would only consider leaving Rome, where he is under contract until 2024, for two clubs: PSG and Real Madrid, where he served from 2010 to 2013, in the event of the departure of Carlo Ancelotti.

The Nagelsmann hypothesis, the Zidane dream
Telefoot also mentioned contacts with ex-Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann. RMC confirms but speaks of “informal discussions for several weeks with coaches or their representatives“Quoting the current coach of Bologna and former player in Paris, Thiago Motta, and Nagelsmann. All while recalling that “the Emir of Qatar dreams of Zinédine Zidane“. It remains to be seen who will have the last word in this affair. If it’s Luis Campos, it’s a safe bet that José Mourinho will land on the banks of the Seine. But in Paris, it’s never so simple, and it’s often in Doha that the coaches are chosen… One thing is certain: the former coach of Porto, Inter, Chelsea or Manchester United would have the shoulders to the perilous mission of coaching PSG, that’s for sure. And this even if his strong character worries some internally… In the meantime, charge Galtier to guide Paris-SG towards what would be an 11th title of champion of France. Then it will be time to think about what’s next.
