Very curious file than that of Zinedine Zidane. Friday, it is a tsunami of optimism which invaded the capital following the revelation of a near-imminent agreement between PSG and former Real Madrid coach. After meetings in Qatar, the positions of the two camps seemed to have come closer. But this Saturday AS claims the Frenchman finally said no.
According to the Spanish daily, which relies on sources close to the negotiation of the last hours, Zidane would have been very tempted by the PSG opportunity. As much for the sports project to embody as for the proposed royal salary. But he would have ( once more) said no. With an obsession in mind: to replace Didier Deschamps at the head of the Blues following the World Cup in Qatar. With this in mind, a contract with Paris would have ruled out this possibility.

But the negotiations did take place according to AS, which claims that they would have been carried out by the Emir of Qatar directly with ZZ, perhaps explaining the exit of the historical agent of Zidane, Alain Migliaccio, in the columns of L’Équipe. The possibility of building his own technical staff, with David Bettoni as his assistant, and taking control of the transfer window would have been on the menu of enticing discussions but ultimately refused by Zizou.
Therefore, as explained the Parisian in recent hours, other avenues continue to be explored at PSG. The one leading to Christophe Galtier remains the priority of Luis Campos who was working on the contours of the Parisian workforce by imagining the Nice coach at its head next season. On his side, as The Team explains, Mauricio Pochettino would have received confirmation from his leaders that his adventure at PSG was going to end there, following having cherished the hope of continuing for another year. In short, in Paris, things move every hour. But it’s not moving as fast as expected. Because the Zidane dream continues to make Qatari leaders fantasize. Until when ?
