In the summer of 2022, PSG, which was looking to start again on new sporting bases, decided to start a mini-revolution with strong choices. The first, on the recommendation of Kylian Mbappé, was to appoint Luis Campos as sporting director of the capital club. The Portuguese leader also decided to bring Christophe Galtier onto the Parisian bench, a man with whom he had worked on the LOSC side. But if the first recruits of the Campos era had attracted initial criticism, another piece of news came to shake up the former leader of Monaco.

Indeed, the 59-year-old decided to accept a role as external sports advisor for Celta de Vigo. Something to question. How was Luis Campos going to be able to take care of a club as complex as PSG while also managing a La Liga club, particularly for the transfer windows? This unprecedented double hat was not long in being singled out, especially since the choices of Luis Campos, in the two clubs, were not unanimous. In Spain, supporters did not fail to target his recruitment while the club was trying to maintain its position. His position was becoming more and more untenable among the supporters while Celta de Vigo did not seem to want to part with him. At least initially.

Celta wants another profile
Because at the start of the season, after a new summer transfer window considered not very exciting and failures on certain issues, the Spanish press revealed that the celestial club was not satisfied with its involvement in the transfer window. Nothing surprising in the end when we knew the scale of the task on the PSG transfer window side. Luis Campos had also not made certain trips to Spain, preferring in particular to hold a conference at the Sorbonne. Finally, the departure of President Carlos Mouriño, very close to Luis Campos, for the benefit of his daughter Marián, sealed the future of Luis Campos. All that was missing was the formalization of his departure. And it took place this Saturday in a press release.

“RC Celta and Luis Campos part ways. The club and the external sports advisor reached an agreement for the separation of the Portuguese, who began his heavenly stage in March 2022. RC Celta would like to express its gratitude to Luis Campos for the work carried out over the last year and a half . And we wish him much success in the future. The departure of the Portuguese will not affect the imminent sports planning with a structure that will be led by the incorporation of a new director of football, with a role and model different from that of Campos, since he will be present permanently , daily”, we can read. Celta de Vigo therefore wants another profile, present regularly to fully invest in the winter transfer window while the team is in 18th place at the break. For his part, Luis Campos will be able to think about PSG full time.
