If Luis Enrique has started a new cycle on the bench of Paris Saint-Germain, the capital club remains very attractive for great coaches.
Satisfactory results, areas for improvement in the game, an involved group and a tumultuous relationship with the press: Luis Enrique can draw up a fairly rich first assessment of his experience on the Paris Saint-Germain bench. Arriving last summer to succeed Christophe Galtier, the former Spain coach is determined to stay in Paris for the long term.
Despite his excellent relations with his managers, Luis Enrique has worked too hard not to know the ingratitude of the profession. The ex-Barça coach is aware that he will be primarily responsible in the event of sporting failure this season. And the candidates to replace him remain numerous. One name in particular has been emerging for several years: Thiago Motta.
This rising value has PSG in its sights!
The scene did not go unnoticed on the other side of the Alps this week. Aurelio De Laurentiis appeared at a press conference to sweep away the current topics in Naples. The opportunity for the temperamental Italian leader to make a little confidence about a certain Thiago Motta. “I had a conversation with Thiago Motta last year in Rome. It lasted 6 hours. He told me he aspired to coach some clubs outside Italy”, then blurted out De Laurentiis. A journalist present in the room then asked him if he was referring to Paris Saint-Germain. The response from the Neapolitan president was immediate. “There you go, it’s you who said it”.
Currently at the helm of a Bologna team ranked sixth in Serie A, Thiago Motta has established himself as one of the rising names in European football on the coaching market.
