While the future of Mauricio Pochettino is written in dotted lines at PSG, the club's staff Parisian has already entered into negotiations with Zinedine Zidane.
Arrived last January at Paris Saint-Germain in place of Thomas Tuchel , Mauricio Pochettino hardly convince observers. He is indeed reproached for the face displayed by his team in every game, which depends too much on individual achievements than on great collective strength. In addition, his management of young people is singled out, as is his use of certain players, Achraf Hakimi and Leo Messi in particular. In short, as much to say that almost a year later, Mauricio Pochettino is no longer in a state of grace to PSG , and all the more so after two soap operas of aborted departures, the second dating in addition to only a few weeks ago when Manchester United have parted ways with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer . Skepticism has even won over the capital club itself as we recently revealed to you that the issue of Mauricio Pochettino's dismissal is no longer taboo behind the scenes.
PSG s 'concrete attack on the Zinedine Zidane case!
And to replace him in the event of dismissal, a name comes back with great urgency, namely that of Zinedine Zidane . As we announced to you, the staff of PSG based in Doha does not hide his dream of seeing the former coach of Real Madrid sit on the board of residents of the Parc des Princes , especially since it is not closed to this idea. And obviously, the Ile-de-France management has taken action for this! Indeed, La Cuatro affirms this Tuesday that negotiations have been initiated between Zinedine Zidane and PSG with a view to the arrival of the French technician in January. Talks are said to be moving in the right direction, so much so that the club are confident about their chances of nominating the Ballon d'Or 1998 to the post this winter. It remains to be seen whether an agreement will be found between the two parties in this regard. But in the meantime, it is clear that an arrival of Zinedine Zidane would be accompanied by great upheavals within the Parisian organization chart.
And for good reason, FootMercato recently announced that Zinedine Zidane would not necessarily wish to work with Leonardo if he joins PSG . Desiring to have control over the sports sector, the Frenchman could therefore cause the fall of the Parisian sports director who returned in 2019 and whose figure is increasingly disputed by observers and even within the club. In doing so, the Frenchman would avoid finding himself in situations similar to those of Thomas Tuchel and Mauricio Pochettino , them who had many disputes with the Italian-Brazilian, something which also partly caused the departure of the German last December. Even more, FootMercato gave it a layer on Monday, explaining that Arsène Wenger could then come to PSG at the same time as Zinedine Zidane – in the event that the World Champion 1998 does indeed join the club. Approached many times by PSG , the former coach of Arsenal would always listen, and the fact of being able to work with Zinedine Zidane could be an additional motivation for him to come to Paris . In short, everything indicates that we may be at the time of a profound upheaval on the side of the Parc des Princes …
