Zidane is set to manage PSG next season according to reports.Zidane is seen as one of the best coaches in the world,and PSG has suffered incompetency in the aspect of the coaches that manage the club,considering the high profile players at the club.Lionel Messi,Neymar and Mbape are three big recognised names in the club,and yet,they are unable to win the champions league,therefore,it is understood that if a good coach like Zidane should manage the team,there is every possiblity that PSG will win the Champions league.PSG were not able to reach the final of the Uefa champions league final last season,and all were narrowed down to the incompetency of the manager.
Zidane will bring a new dimension of football to the club,and I believe his tenure will be the best.

Zidane is considered as an experienced coach, who can probably take PSG to the Champions League final, and possibly make them lift the Champions League trophy. Yes, we all expected them to struggle for the title last season since they had one of the strongest squad. But, Unfortunately they couldn't. Although, Zidane will have to introduce a new strategy that will enable them to resist other tough teams which they might encounter next season, and also help them in win consistently in their games.

I think that Lionel Messi still did a good work last season. Maybe it wasn't like the times he was playing for Barcelona but his adaptation time wasn't very long still. However people will always have bigger expectations from a player like Messi of course. It looks like he is playing for PSG at least one more year and his next season here could be much better hopefully. Lionel Messi's contribution also is very important for this team to achieve a Champions League title especially.

The adaptation process may not take long for Lionel Messi even though the performance and contribution given is not as great as what he did when he played for Barcelona but we are very sure that the arrival of Zinedine Zidane to PSG will make PSG itself a team to be feared on the European continent especially Zinedine Zidane. Zidane already knows how the character of Lionel Messi and his friends is because at this time Lionel Messi only has not been able to bring PSG to the champions league champion but for the domestic league that Messi has shown his contribution to PSG by bringing the club to League One champion, maybe PSG and Lionel Messi just need time to lift the big ear trophy let alone Zinedine Zidane really joins next season

In my opinion, the only thing Messi is worried about right now is how to perform well at the World Cup. A good performance will once again remind the world of him and allow him to advance to the US Championship on better terms. I don't think he can show anything special at PSG - there are enough selfish players who think about their achievements and they will not help him with his achievements.

It is the last World Cup for Messi and in his career, he got all titles with Barcelona (some Champions League and lot of Ballon d'Or). He already won Coppa America and Conference cup with Arghentina. With his national team, he only does not have World Cup.

World Cup 2014 is the best chance he came to with Arghentina but the goal from Gotze brings the title to Germany, not Arghentina. In the coming World Cup, Messi will have a last World Cup tournament in which he can still be a core of his team. In later World Cup, 2026 or 2030, I don't say Messi won't be there, he might be. However, in future World Cup, Messi will be only a part of team, not the core of team plan. His importance in Arghentina will decrease with time.

I'm sure Messi will try to show improvement in his performance at PSG, after his first year with PSG was not satisfactory. After all, Messi's role
at PSG is not as heavy as when he played for Barcelona, so Messi should be able to show his best game next season. Moreover, Messi has also been
given a high salary by PSG, so Messi will be professional by increasing his contribution to PSG next season. I'm sure Messi can still show his quality
next season, and hopefully Messi can help PSG win the Champions League trophy next season. Although I myself doubt that PSG can win
the Champions League trophy next season, because to be able to win the Champions League trophy it is not enough for Messi to play well,
but PSG players must be able to work well together. Therefore PSG need a coach who can make PSG players work well together, which Pochettino
cannot do.

Personally, I am not at all sure that ten Hag would be able to cope with the management of such a special club as Paris Saint-Germain, with its ambitions, composition, expended funds. I am not sure that he will be able to cope with Manchester United, but still, in my personal opinion, this is a more acceptable option for him to succeed and be closer in level to Ajax, in terms of his authority as a coach. It's just that at Manchester United, ten Hag will build a team, the composition of the team and he will be allowed to do it, and at Paris Saint-Germain they will demand the Champions League from the already available material here and now.

I believe PSG would have been an easier job for sure. PSG requires UCL to consider it a great season, without that UCL win, everything else is normal, and look at Pochettino, dude won ligue 1 every year except one since he was there right? And since he lost UCL, he is considered to be replaced by all of us, and probably by the team as well.

On the other hand, what we are talking about with the United situation is that they could neither win the league, nor the title, and still be considered bad or good, depending on where they will be. This is why I think it would be easier for Erik to manage PSG, at least win a couple of titles, it is physically there and you would be able to calculate the success that way.

Erik Ten Hag would have been an excellent coach for PSG. But would they have accepted that in the squad at PSG? He is fairly inexperienced, but he knows a lot about it. I don't think Pochetino is a great coach at all. Actually there is currently only 1 man suitable to coach PSG and that is Zidane. No one has as much respect and status as him. They have very good players, with the right coach you can win all the trophies next season. The question is of course not whether they will win the competition, that will be easy. But the players and supporters are more hungry.

He really would have been one of the great choices for PSG but Manchester United have become successful about bringing him. The best candidate for PSG is Zinedine Zidane of course but I'm having my doubts about he would join them. Because he hasn't managed a team for a long time and he might want to continue like this for a longer time too. Truthfully I would love to see him managing PSG. He would adapt to the team very quickly too and it might really be the time for PSG to win the CL title then.

I think this will still be a Fifty-Fifty even though adaptation is important but the addition of Age also has an effect and of course this also applies to Messi now.
Personally, I still have high hopes for this player but if you look at his contribution, I actually have to bury my expectations because from any point of view his achievements will not be the same when he was at Barcelona.

We can't compare Messi performance now to his performance when he was still at Barcelona. Sincerely speaking, I think Messi is not getting enough support from his teammates in PSG. However, Messi were able to secure 6 goals last season in Ligue 1, and 5 goals in the Champion League. In order for them to achieve the Champions League trophy, they probably need high cooperation within the players. Although, next season will be more productive to PSG, as they have intentions of signing a new and experienced coach Zinedine Zidane.

The media will always go about wanting to know more about someone who is at his prime and Messi is one of those players who the media will always want to know their next playyn of action. I think Messi should ignore them or better still pochettino can attend to most of the journalists asking a question about Messi's future. Messi is good but only him in the team doesn't guarantee them that which is why the team really need each to achieve their dream which is winning the champion league. Messi will always appear in front should they win any trophy because he is a star among the stars.

Messi's role at PSG is no longer the main player as a goalscorer. Mbappe is the main target besides Neymar and so far Messi has been a good assist provider from the contribution of the two players' goals for PSG. Messi can still determine his future with PSG after his first season was not as good as expected, but he still has a chance for a second season especially to prove his quality.

He did not play too bad in PSG. Contribute well for the club in aspect of key passes and assists but it is a joke to look at tot goals Messi scored in the last season. It does not mean he did too many bad shots. It is partially because he had many missing goals because his shots hit goal bars, pillars etc.

Of course I know Messi is getting older and is more affected by ageing. Just like what Ronaldo is facing and as other old players have to cope with. My point is he still actually plays well enough at his age and in the last season, biggest issue with him in PSG is too unlucky.

This is a good question for those thinking that Messi is the only Key to Champion league or that Paris SG is weak without the last contract signed contract with Messi.
And from what i can see, even Pochettino follow the mess by keep talking about Messi and the Champions League. I find it useless to keep talking about Messi even when we discuss games he wasn't present !
I think this not a good sign for other PSG players in terms of enthousiasm and psychology when they feel that their strong team as always used to be, becomes in potential fearness without Messi .

Journalists are the ones who keeps asking about questions about Messi, Pochettino only responds to their questions, but it is getting annoying, Messi is a really good player we all know that, and of course he can add a lot to the squad, but like you said other players will feel inferior to Messi and be reminded of that all the time, even if they win the Champions league, the media is going to put the spotlight on Messi, even without him they reached the semi-final and the final in the last two years, all the players should get the attention they deserve.

The media will always go about wanting to know more about someone who is at his prime and Messi is one of those players who the media will always want to know their next playyn of action. I think Messi should ignore them or better still pochettino can attend to most of the journalists asking a question about Messi's future.

^ The type of player that PSG has I think the only right coach for them seems to be Zidane but I don't think PSG is going to be able to attract him with anything right now because the form of Messi is not good right now. And other than the team being really in need of him, I don't think he will be coming to PSG. I think it will be better for PSG of course if he coaches them but it might leave a spot on his career because PSG is not gonna win the champions league next time as well. Zidane might actually change that but first, he needs to be the coach of PSG. And I don't think it's gonna happen.

Today I saw a "leak" on the news that Zidane has agreed to coach PSG. Sad news, but probably it was inevitable with such pressure from all sides (French President, Qatari sheikhs, etc.). Apparently, the official announcement will be made a little later so that the public has time to spend emotions on the "unconfirmed" news and then everything goes smoothly.

Now that Ten Hag has no hope of being there as for Zidane I also doubt he will become a coach again because he seems to be enjoying a normal life without his job right now.
Perhaps it is very likely that PSG will still be handled by Poche until next season even though many people still doubt his capacity as a coach at a big club.

On the contrary, i think any coach would struggle at PSG. With power struggles between coach and the players; it would be difficult for any coach to attain maximum discipline and results with this psg squad and this has affected them alot in the champions league. With big names Messi, Neymar and Mbappe leaving tackling, and pressing for the midfielders to chase every game
