A year after ejecting Thomas Tuchel to replace him with Mauricio Pochettino, PSG should not replace the Argentine coach during the season, despite the dream of the Qatari leaders to afford Zinédine Zidane.
« Paris ” and ” Magic ». Zinedine Zidane wrote these words in the same Instagram publication, Friday, to evoke his time with family, in recent days, on the side of Disneyland Paris. “Zizou” will not however remain in the French capital during the end of the year celebrations in order to take control of the PSG for the rest of the season. No.
If Thomas Tuchel had been disembarked on December 24, 2020, a year ago, to make way for Mauricio Pochettino, the management of the Parisian club does not intend to do the same thing again during this winter break, as assured The Parisian. And this, despite the many particularly bad performances on the part of Lionel Messi and his teammates, who certainly fly over Ligue 1 thanks in particular to a Kylian Mbappé fantastic.
A tactical move that pays off?
According to the regional daily, the club’s headquarters in Doha did not at all appreciate seeing Pochettino, then frustrated by Leonardo’s omnipotence, negotiating with Tottenham and Real Madrid last summer. But the Qatari leaders have apparently never sought to dismiss the 49-year-old coach and, if Zidane has been called upon, it was only with a view to a change of coach during the next offseason. .
Since the former number 10 of the Blues has only one idea in mind, namely to succeed Didier Deschamps after the World Cup 2022, Qatar opted for a rather clever strategy. An arrival in high season, in full slump, was not offered to Zidane. A stroke of genius? PSG leaders prefer to wait for the situation in French team becomes clearer. Now he says to himself that “La Dèche” could extend the tricolor adventure. Zidane could be fixed this summer and decide.
