While the Thiago Motta and José Mourinho tracks slip away, the idea of seeing the duo of Julian Nagelsmann and Thierry Henry on the PSG bench is gaining momentum. However, the 98 world champion would be reluctant to say yes to Paris.
For 24 hours, PSG supporters have been getting to know Julian Nagelsmann, the 35-year-old German technician landed by Bayern Munich, even if he is still under contract with the Bavarian club. If the latter was coach of the Bavarians when they eliminated a weak Parisian team this season in the Champions League, Nagelsmann is not a star of the profession. However, his image has long since crossed the borders of the Bundesliga, with the German notably having been cited close to Chelsea in recent months before the Blues finally chose Mauricio Pochettino. If the possibility of seeing Julian Nagelsmann at PSG is not a monstrous surprise either, that of seeing him associated with Thierry Henry is a huge one.
Thierry Henry wants to be number 1
The French world champion, consultant for Prime Video and for Sky Sports, had been free since the end of the 2022 World Cup. Roberto Martinez’s assistant with Belgium, the one who was the ephemeral coach of AS Monaco could manage the locker room at the daily life, Thierry Henry was more flexible than Julian Nagelsmann with the younger generations. However, according to Le Parisien, his arrival is not certain, because there are a few details to settle, and not the least. ” In private, the idol of Arsenal would not hide his need to spend time in England where his family resides. And that if he were to return to service on a bench, it would rather be to put on the number one costume there “, explains the regional daily. And inevitably, if Thierry Henry declines the offer of Paris Saint-Germain, this could derail the entire operation.

According to several media, Julian Nagelsmann and Thierry Henry recently spoke on this Paris Saint-Germain file, but we do not know the details of this discussion. While a meeting should ratify the departure of Christophe Galtier in the coming days, Nasser Al-Khelaifi intends to quickly appoint the person who will train PSG next season. Because to advance in the transfer window, some players need to know under whose orders they will work. It is now up to Thierry Henry to make his choice, the Parisian supporters being rather enthusiastic at the idea of seeing him arrive at the club.
