BERLIN, 21 Jun. (STATS Perform/dpa/EP) –
The president of Paris Saint-Germain, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, is clear that Christophe Galtier is the one chosen to occupy the bench of the Parisian team and that for this reason they have “never” spoken with Zinédine Zidane to lead a team that he demands to return to being “humble” and work “200 percent” next season.
“I love Zidane, he was a fantastic player, of an incredible class. An exceptional coach too, with three Champions Leagues, but I will say one thing: we never talk to him, directly or indirectly. Many clubs are interested in him, national teams as well. , but we have never spoken with him. We have chosen a coach who will be the best for what we want to put on”, assured Al-Khelaïfi in an interview published this Tuesday by ‘Le Parisien’.
In this sense, he confirmed that the main objective to relieve the Argentine Mauricio Pochettini is the current coach of Nice, Christophe Galtier. “” We are talking to them, it is not a secret, and I hope we find an agreement quickly, but I respect Nice and President Jean-Pierre Rivere, they all defend their interests, “he warned.
And if Galtier arrives, he will have to take charge of a French champion who the Qatari leader wants to change his image of yesteryear. “One thing is the dream, another the reality. Perhaps we should also change our slogan because ‘Dream big’ is fine, but currently, above all, we must be realistic. We do not want more sparkles, it is the end of the sequins, “he stressed. .
“We want players who love this club, to fight, to win. For next season, the objective is clear and that is to work 200 percent every day, give everything we have for this shirt, give our all and we will see the result. We have to be humble again and whoever wants to stay in their comfort zone, whoever doesn’t want to fight, will stay aside,” Al-Khelaïfi said.
