For its big return to Ligue 1, Paris FC has fulfilled its objective. The Ile-de-France residents remained in the elite, with an 11e place at stake, and even ended the season in style by defeating their neighbor, Paris Saint-Germain (2-1) during the final day of the championship last Sunday.
For next season, Jean Bouin’s residents intend to do much better by aiming for a Top 10. It remains to be seen whether it will be with Antoine Kombouaré on the bench. Appointed last February in place of Stéphane Gilli, the 62-year-old Kanak coach would have convinced his managers and should, barring any surprises, be reappointed, according to information from RMC Sport.
“Obviously, we loved working with Antoine Kombouaré these last few months. The results speak for themselves, then you just have to watch a Paris FC match to see that the team has been transformed”confided the owner of the PFC, Antoine Arnault, on the airwaves of RMC Tuesday evening.
“I would like to convince him to come and coach our team”
“We would like to continue. It’s no secret, he has small problems – health – which means that he will decide in the coming days whether he continues or not “, however qualified the boss of the Parisian club.
Ambitious although he does not want to skip ahead, Antoine Arnault has not hidden his dream of one day convincing Jürgen Klopp, current director of world football for the Red Bull group and also a shareholder of the club, to become the coach of the PFC.
“If we get to the Champions League, I would like to convince him to come and coach our team”he whispered. To be continued.
