The Ligue 1 season has been over for a week. And if the departure of Christophe Galtier is now certain, Paris Saint-Germain has still not appointed its next coach. Julian Nagelsmann is the favourite, although there is a big doubt.
Luis Campos did the dirty work by being appointed by Nasser Al-Khelaifi to announce to Christophe Galtier that he was sacked after only one of his two years of contract. A decision necessarily hard to assume for the Portuguese sports adviser, who had brought the French coach from Nice last year. But this file is now settled, it is now necessary to find the successor of Galtier. Several tracks have been mentioned, it is now that of Julian Nagelsmann who seems to hold the rope. The German press confirms that the technician, still under contract with Bayern Munich, is in contact with Al-Khelaifi and that the latter is under his spell. Except that in reality, things are not at all so clear, and that Paris Saint-Germain is far from having made its choice.
PSG have not decided anything for their coach
Even if the name of Zinedine Zidane is no longer really relevant. And that the José Mourinho track moved away after the latter freaked out in the Europa League final, Benjamin Quarez explains that nothing is settled for Nagelsmann, far from it. The journalist from Le Parisien confirms that the 35-year-old German coach’s agent indeed met Luis Campos this week in a Parisian palace, but nothing has been signed between the two parties. And within the PSG offices, the subject of the coach is clearly taboo. ” In the corridors of the Factory, we want to be careful when the subject is mentioned. We insist that everything remains open (…) So far, Paris is moving forward without knowing the identity of its next coach “, specifies the journalist of the Ile-de-France daily. Enough to give grain to grind to the insiders, who always evoke a possible surprise.

24 hours ago, the name of Marcelo Gallardo was mentioned, without it going very far. Other files are open, Luis Enrique and Xabi Alonso, but Paris Saint-Germain is not crazy at the start of the transfer window. And it is this scenario of a surprise from chef Al-Khelaifi that still has PSG supporters in suspense, not completely convinced that Julian Nagelsmann is the man for the job. At best, the latter could be a choice out of spite, we know the only obsession of the Emir of Qatar: Zinedine Zidane.
