A year after his departure, Leonardo finds that Paris Saint-Germain have not made progress. The former sports director is amused and regrets that the Ile-de-France club let Lionel Messi leave after the end of his contract this summer.
To better understand the anger of Paris Saint-Germain supporters, we must go back to the promises made last summer. At the time, the new football adviser Luis Campos and the chosen coach Christophe Galtier announced the beginning of a new era. It was the end of the bling-bling at the capital club where everyone was finally supposed to pull in the same direction. But a few months later, it is clear that the pair did not achieve their goals for the season.
Leonardo stings PSG
Not to mention the sporting failures, with the eliminations in the knockout stages of the Champions League and the Coupe de France, the state of mind has not really changed. No more than the ambitious project initially sold. As a result, Paris Saint-Germain is dangling a new revolution for next season. Something to amuse the former Parisian sports director Leonardo.
” What does the famous joke say? With me it’s difficult, but without me it’s impossible (he laughs) joked the Brazilian in an interview with Corriere della Sera. Recall that Leonardo was ejected in June 2022 in favor of Luis Campos. The former midfielder, free since this eviction, was notably behind the signing of Lionel Messi in 2021. And regrets the Argentinian’s exit at the end of the contract.

” I’m so sorry for what happened. He is an extraordinary person and a champion worthy of entering the Olympus of football with Pelé and Maradona. He made a choice of life (Inter Miami) which will allow him to better reconcile family and work. If you go to war, with Leo you are not likely to die alone. With others, yes “slipped Leonardo, far from being thrilled by the work of his successor.
