Still no confirmation of dismissal PochettinoUntil now, the debate had focused on the two candidates to replace the Argentine: Zidane o Galtier. The first, preferred by Qatar; the second, by the advisor Louis Fields. However, the latest information suggests that the former Real Madrid player has decided to let the PSG train pass again because he prioritizes sitting on the national team bench if Deschamps does not continue after the World Cup.
Despite Noel le Graët has not wanted to feed those rumours, the president of the Federation contemplates Zidane as the number one candidate if things don’t quite work out in Qatar: “It’s logical that a French coach like him aspires to lead the national team,” he commented at the time, when the Marseillais was still training at the Santiago Bernabéu. What you risk, however, is losing that position if Deschamps does not leave office.
Both L’Équipe and RMC Sport ensure that Zidane The door to PSG in the future has not been closed, but he believes that now is not the right time. On the one hand there is the argument of the illusion to train France. On the other, the responsibility that implies having to manage a dressing room as complicated as the Parisian one, governed by the big stars and with the sole purpose of raising a Champions League that still resists the club.
Con Zidane almost discarded, Galtier opposed to being the relief of Pochettino. She already worked three years with Louis Fields and now the negotiation between Nice and PSG is pending. The southern team paid around three million euros to Lille to get their coach, with a contract until 2024, and now they are not willing to let him go for free. At a minimum, he asks Al Khelaifi a similar amount to unlock his departure, which is expected to take place before the end of June.
