While the future of Luis Campos seemed uncertain a few weeks ago, Paris Saint-Germain is about to extend its sports advisor. A real reversal of the situation orchestrated in the shadows, which testifies to the growing influence of the Portuguese within the Parisian club.
A future outstanding future ago
For several months, persistent rumors have suggested that Campos could leave PSG at the end of the season. Criticized for certain recruitments deemed insufficient (such as Skriniar or Ugarte) and faced with divergences with the management on the club's strategy, its future was pending. President Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, although smiling during prolonged contracts (like those of Vitinha or Nuno Mendes), seemed to distance himself from the craftsman of the new Parisian sports policy.
Luis Campos and Luis Enrique are always very good.
Collaboration with Luis Enrique: a winning duo
This climate of doubt was swept by recent results and the dynamics established by Luis Enrique, with whom Campos forms an effective tandem. Together, they were able to reshape the team, by focusing on young talents like Barcola or Zaïre-Emery, and by establishing a welcome stability after years marked by fluctuating choices.
According to Canal+journalist, Olivier Tallaron, Al-Khelaïfi is now convinced by the project led by Campos. The Qatari President would even plan to extend the Portuguese contract, which expires in 2025. A decision which underlines the confidence found between the two men.
Towards a new turning point at PSG?
This change of course could mark a new era for PSG. After years of sometimes contradictory strategies, the club seems to have found a balance between sports ambitions and long -term management. The extension of Luis Campos is part of this desire for continuity and stability.
It remains to be seen if this alliance will allow PSG to cross the last level: win the Champions League. One thing is certain: Luis Campos did not say his last word.
