The Paris Saint-Germain administration began the search for a replacement for the French coach, Christophe Galtier, and will not wait until the end of the season, as was expected, to resolve this issue, nor will it abide by the period it set for itself to wait until following the next two league matches once morest Nice, April 8. And Ren, on the 15th of the same month, in order to make her decision to dismiss the coach or keep him.
The Paris administration reviewed the names of a number of coaches to choose between them, in the event of the dismissal of Galtier, most notably the Frenchman Zinedine Zidane, who enjoys almost unanimity, but sets a strange and questionable condition, as he wants the Brazilian Neymar to leave the team, because he considers him a player causing problems and unrest.
Several French press sources stated that the failure of Saint-Germain’s negotiations with Zidane last year cast a shadow over his situation this year, and the situation may be complicated accordingly.
There is interest on the part of Saint-Germain in seeking to negotiate with the German, Julian Nagelsmann, the former coach of Bayern Munich, who was recently dismissed from his position, and was replaced by his compatriot Thomas Tuchel.
And the secret of Paris’ interest in this coach was his success in tactically outperforming Galtier during their two matches together in the round of 16 of the European Champions League «Champions League», but the German coach has not yet emerged from the shock of his dismissal from the «Bavarian», and prefers to give himself a chance to catch a breath until the end of the season, There are some sources indicating that he prefers to work in the “Bundesliga”.
The Italian Antonio Conte’s “article” was also mentioned recently by Tottenham, the Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho, the Italian coach of Roma, and the Spaniard Luis Enrique, who was sacked from coaching the Spain national team, following the “Roja” left early from the last “World Cup”.
Whatever name will be chosen, it must meet the condition of great experience, at the highest professional level, not only with clubs, but also in European competitions.
However, Saint-Germain has not yet entered into any formal negotiations with any of the coaches nominated to lead Paris in the next season, and perhaps before the end of this season.
The common characteristic of these coaches – with the exception of Mourinho, the coach of Rome – is that they are all not currently working, and they were dismissed by their clubs, Conte “traid” Tottenham and Nagelsmann from Bayern, and Enrique “the article” from his country’s national team, following being excluded from the World Cup by Morocco.
As for Christophe Galtier, “56 years old,” the current coach of Saint-Germain, he spent four difficult months at the helm of the technical leadership of the team, as he was excluded from the Champions League at the hands of Bayern, and from the French Cup at the hands of Olympique de Marseille, and lost 5 matches in the French League since the beginning of last January. Most of the French press sources expected that his days were numbered in the “Princes Garden”.
