Total facelift in Paris, who goes and who stays

Paris Saint-Germain mathematically won the Ligue 1 title on Saturday (April 23) after the draw against Lens. But things are not only going well for the Parisians. Exclusion from the Champions League has caused turmoil, with serious complaints from management and congratulations to the likes of Messi and Neymar on their performance.

However, it seems that the Paris government is likely to make major changes next summer. According to Parisien, Mauricio Pochettino’s exit seems very close. The Argentina coach will cost €15m to be sacked as he and his staff still have 12 months on contract.

Qatar want Zinedine Zidane to replace Pochettino while Antonio Conte has already been proposed to the Parisians. As for the Argentina manager’s next stop, he is already in talks with the Tottenham owner about his Spurs return.

Leonardo is also in danger

The future of technical director Leonardo in Paris is in doubt. The Brazilian has been criticized for his decisions on the team’s transfer issues. Summer’s moves, like those of Messi and Ramos, have brought a lot… murmurs.

Speaking to Canal+ after defeating Lance, he stressed: “I said earlier that it’s difficult with me, impossible without me. I imitated Ibrahimovic. I’m always available, I’m happy with what I’m doing and I like a challenge. When it’s difficult? I see not where I could have been more challenging than in Paris.

We cannot forget our entire journey. I sure made mistakes. In the last three years, we have been looking for a balance with the corona virus. We made investments. Without COVID, we would not be doing the six transfers that took place over the summer. We did well to bring in Messi, Ramos, Vainaldum and three new players.

In addition, there are situations that are not normal. Organizing it and turning it into a result is not always easy. “It’s normal to have demands.”

We remind you that one of Leonardo’s goals that could play a role in the owners’ decision is the outcome of the Ebape case, with the Brazilian being optimistic.

Al-Qalaifi stays

According to Equipe, the President of Paris, Nasser Al-Kalaifi, should keep his office. In Qatar they are happy with his overall work and this is how he will escape the moves.

Finally, Kelaifi became President of the ECA after the…episode that occurred in European football last year with the emergence of the European Super League and Paris’ non-participation. In general, his status in European football is being upgraded, which Qatar appreciates.
