In search of a new coach to compensate for the departure of Christophe Galtier, Paris Saint-Germain dreams of bringing in Julian Nagelsmann, the former coach of Bayern Munich. But for now, nothing is done.
A year after his appointment as head of the club in the French capital, Christophe Galtier said goodbye to the Parc des Princes on Saturday evening under the whistles of the Parisian public. Despite a title of champion of France, acquired in pain with a single point ahead of Lens, the record of the tricolor coach at the head of PSG is not really brilliant. It must be said that between the early exit from the road in the knockout stages of the Champions League against Bayern Munich, elimination against OM in the Coupe de France and the many defeats in L1, Paris had more than lows than highs this season. It is therefore for this reason that the Qatari management has decided to fire Galtier this summer. And his replacement could well be his executioner in C1, since Julian Nagelsmann is indeed Paris’ priority for next season.
Nagelsmann is not yet fully convinced
The priority is now established, it will now be necessary to finish convincing Nagelsmann to come. The first echoes indicate a German who is tempted by the project but who still wishes to discuss #PSH https://t.co/wet773iefg

Dismissed from his position as coach of Bayern Munich last March, the 35-year-old coach is at the top of the Qataris’ shortlist. In discussions for several weeks, the two parties would even be very close to an agreement, even if nothing has been done yet. Quite simply because Nagelsmann has not yet said yes to PSG, according to journalist Loïc Tanzi: “The priority is now established, we will now have to finish convincing Nagelsmann to come. The first echoes indicate a German who is tempted by the project but who still wishes to discuss ». Anyway, the negotiations between the German coach and the Parisian club will continue for the next few hours with the desire to find common ground as quickly as possible. History that the German technician becomes the successor of Galtier alongside Thierry Henry, who could land in Paris as an assistant. A duo that should appeal to PSG supporters.
However be careful, Nagelsmann like Henry have repeatedly refused prestigious projects lately, the German declining the offer from Chelsea must be convinced by the sporting project. Nothing is therefore done for Paris, which will have to bring out its best arguments.
