PSG is preparing for a summer makeover at all levels. The Parisian team is aware that it has to change many things to return to aspire to the Champions League in which it has been shipwrecked this season. Starting with the bench, in which Pochettino is more out than ever and for whom the club is looking for a substitute without certainty at the moment.
According to information from Le Parisian, the favorite to succeed him is still Zinedine Zidane. The former Real Madrid coach is still waiting for the French team and, although his priority is the current world champion, andhe Parisian newspaper indicates that the Marseillais has told his deputies at Real Madrid if they would be willing to follow him in Paris if he ends up accepting PSG’s offer. Zidane dreams of coaching a competitive team again and the current leader of Ligue 1 offers him all the guarantees to take over the bench in June and have full decision-making powers, something that Pochettino has not had.
The Argentine points to the Premier League. According to Le Parisien, teams like Southampton and Tottenham have already asked about their situation. Pochettino is not happy in Paris, because he has barely been able to work in his way, he has had continuous problems with Leonardo, who, by the way, also aims to leave, and except for surprise, he will not continue as PSG coach next season. The shipwreck in the Champions League and the little that has been able to shape the ego of his stars have been the main triggers to accentuate his departure. Manchester United’s track is moving away after the Red Evils advance negotiations with Ten Hag in recent days.
Although PSG have also sounded out a young coach who could revolutionize the team’s game, Nagelsmann coming to sound despite his shipwreck against Villarreal in the Champions League, other names that sound for the bench are Allegri and Antonio Conte. The second could leave Tottenham and, although Leonardo holds him in high esteem, as PSG still does not know which sporting director he will have next season, no movement has been made to contact his entourage. Intense months are ahead in Paris with the bench as one of the keys to relaunching the project.
