I'm happy to see that Minamino has found a team for himself in which he can have a much bigger playing time. His last season performance was really good when he had the opportunity and this must have been effective for Monaco to make a clear decision about him. Minamino isn't an old player also (27). He can serve the team long years as long as he doesn't have serious problems. He has played in Japan, Austria and the UK so far but not in France. It is going to be a new atmosphere for him but I believe he will adapt there also.

GOD is TRUE
as monaco has officially announced the transfer of Takumi Minamino. the japanese attacking midfielder signed a four-year contract until june 2026. T. Minamino had moved from rb salzburg to fc liverpool  in january 2020, and from february to june 2021 he was loaned to the premier league club fc southampton



This is a good deal for both the player and the clubside Monaco. Monaco get a player desperate to impress ahead of the world cup event and desperate for first team football, They also get Tchoemani replacement cheaply and wisely. I believe the French league is one where Minamino quality would really shine bright and go back to the talisman midfield gem signed from Salzburg. Good signing and cheap too

Minamino really had a good potential, don't know why it didn't pan out at all. He was the type of player that could have been a great player for liverpools future. Seeing him not do that well and be sent away eventually really bothers me, but this is football and it is business, so if you can't cut it, then you will be the cutted. In the end he is not going to some Qatar league team or USA to just retire for the rest of his life. He is going to Monaco and that is a good team in ligue 1, not PSG of course but he is a good player and he would be getting some shining light there as well, who knows maybe in 2-3 years he could prove people that he is worthy again.

I think this player will find the chance to show what he can do in monaco better than Liverpool, this is the right place for him to play more matches and improve his statistics and i believe he can this player will have very bright future

Monaco needed a worthy replacement after the sale of Aurélien Tchouameni. Takumi Minamino may be able to adapt well to Monaco. I saw Takumi Minamino's performance. He has scored 10 goals in 15 matches in World Cup qualifiers. I think he will play well in Monaco.
Takumi Minamino is a winger, while Tchouameni is a defensive midfielder. These two players play for different roles and they are also in different positions. So I don't think Minamino is the expected player as a good replacement for Tchouameni at Monaco.

Minamino is expected to compete with Sofiane Diop for first choice next season to fill the winger position, so this will definitely make Sofiane Diop work harder to become first choice. Minamino has already proven his quality with Premier League teams, so maybe he will get more chances to play later.

After Monaco sold Aurélien Tchouameni to Real Madrid then Minamino is their first arrival for next season. Monaco still have sufficient funds from the sale of Aurélien Tchouameni, so it is still possible for them to buy several other players while the transfer market is still open.

I tried to find out about Minamino's transfer on transfermarkt, so it turned out that Liverpool got 15m from his transfer fee to Monaco. Minamino is 24th for top transfers this summer (interim) and so far Liverpool have also benefited from the sale of this player as according to transfermarkt Liverpool bought him from RB Salzburg for 8.5m at the time.

Interesting, I really missed that they consider hiring Galtier. That is quite a step down the ladder if you compare that to Zinedine Zidane. The thing with Zidane is that he has this aura that you need to coach a team like PSG. He has proven that in Madrid. I don't know whether he is the best strategist or anything, but his players trust what he has to say just because he is who he is. I personally think that charisma and aura is a major requirement for a coach when you want to successfully work with the top teams like City, Liverpool, Madrid, PSG. Full of superstars and all of them have their opinions. To get that orchestrated appropriately, I feel it is important everyone in the room knows that you have been where they are now.
Compare to Zidane i think Galtier has more experience than Zidane but indeed so far he was train small teams such as St Etienne or Lille but for France league he has good achievement because while in St Etienne he can bring this team to get Coupe de la Ligue and in Lille he can get France league trophy and break the domination of PSG but indeed for European competitions he still lack of experience but seems PSG owner has believe Galtier can give positive impact for PSG and today i heard PSG reach an agreement with him and Lille so Galtier will get 2 years contract and PSG will published it to the public soon

Galtier has literally won nothing. In 2013 he won a single trophy and as a player he won nothing. I know what you mean but you seem to be referring to time only, not self-experience like playing on the highest level or playing in finals. Zidane has won it all as a player and as a manager. Winning the Champions League with Real Madrid 3 times in a row, I ask you what is more to come? So the term experience is kind of a subjective matter, but if you ask me whether Zidane or Galtier would be better able to handle the PSG squad, I would say it is Zidane in this case. Do you think the current players from PSG will fully respect Galtier?

In my country, this was the norm in the 90s. Moreover, the coach coached both the team from the domestic championship and the national team. And of course, most of the invited players to the national team were from the team he coached  Grin But I don't think it's worth seriously discussing this option in the case of Zidane and the French team.
Lol, You may be right. This is not a good choice for getting more discussion and so far I have only expressed a few opinions.
Pochettino no longer earns the trust he deserves from PSG's management, so it's entirely possible for PSG to find a more worthy replacement. It's not about who and who, but I think the coaches that are expected are the coaches they really need.

Why don't we think he can coach both teams at the same time? Maybe Zidane will manage both France and Paris SG teams together? I see him as a coach with a very good technical capacity. I liked it very much in his Real Madrid career. I believe he will be very successful if he becomes the coach of Paris SG.
I've never heard that one coach can manage the national team and another team at the same time, it sounds weird to make it real. Whoever the coach was, no matter how good his technical skills were, it would be very unprofessional to manage two teams at the same time, and maybe it was against the rules.

Maybe PSG can forget Zidane and look for a great coach like Joachim Low who has now chosen to step down from coaching Germany. I think he is very suitable to be PSG coach next season because he is a coach who has quite a lot of ambition in the work he does. I hope he becomes PSG coach next season.
It might be good to give him a job, but do you think he fits PSG's style of play so far?

That is true, it is not going to be easy at all to manage both the French national team and also the PSG team. I know it is a very hard job to pull off but I don’t think the national team job takes too much stress, to be honest. But, I think it is better to just be committed to one job rather than take both jobs and do bad in both. If he was actually able to do both jobs he could have achieved a lot in my opinion.
I think it's very unlikely that Zidane wants to take on two jobs at the same time coaching the French national team and PSG. all will be difficult to do because there is not enough time for him to carry out his duties simultaneously.

Foremost due to some rules and regulations he can't do two jobs at once secondly he is already rejected PSG job because he is not happy about PSG contract with few players which is having special treatment for few players because it's killing discipline of a team, and it's never been acceptable for top rank coach in world.
Now he is waiting for his most wanted job as France Coach, but it's all depend on current coach's tenure and if he is going to extend his job then surely Zidane has to wait for some more time, or he needs to look for any other job if he interested which is rare because if he has interest then surely there were few jobs available, but he takes no interest and waiting for all update about France coach's job.

I have never heard of such rules and regulations for which the same coach is not able to have the job of a club and also a national team. Probably the rules have changed over time. But it would have been really something to say Zinedine Zidane being the coach of PSG and France at the same time. I think he could have done really well with PSG.

But it is also true that PSG gives special treatment to some of its players and as normal human beings that should be unacceptable to anyone. If he is able to get the job as the coach of France I think the French team is going to be unbeatable. France already has a team that is absolutely stacked. How about it if a team where Griezmann has to play in the midfield?  Cheesy


Lol, @W Jr. how can you think the job is something that looks easy, because even if there is no rule about prohibiting a coach to coach two teams simultaneously I'm sure they or the coach will not be willing to do it. After all, a coach who coaches a team is basically a very busy job, with many leagues and competitions that need to be highly focused on strategy and other factors. If you think it's an easy job to coach a club and a national team at the same time it's crazy, it really can't be done haphazardly by just picking players and playing. Lol

As long as PSG continue with their defensive approach, things will go wrong for them, Messi and Neymar are attacking by nature, they feel uncomfortable being in a midfield game of that style, especially Neymar who plays in Brazilian football where his best defense is the attack.

I think they need to change the technical director, more like the Sheikh who made Mbappé stay with a very juicy amount of money, I think that was what the player preferred, however if things go like this and if they don't playing the style of play that is consistent with those players will have very bad results, players cannot be forced to have a style of play similar to the Italian one.
I was interested in an article on a news portal that wrote about "mbappe has lost his identity because money"

Pampered players will definitely end up with a bad performance and that's definitely what will happen to mbappe.

Well Takumi Minamino is not a bad idea for the team that they can bring him, also in French football he can have a lot of prominence, in Liverpool he still stands out, but I think that in Monaco he can make more of a difference, I also think that French football is emerging much, anything that can put PSG in competition is what a lot of French teams want.
it is true that Ligue 1 football is developing a lot and many star players are also anchored to Ligue 1. In other news apart from Minamino, Monaco is also eyeing Jovic, it looks like there will be a lot of great strikers (wings and center) competing for the core position in Monaco later.
The truth about the case of Mbappé I don't know how radical it is, but what I do know is that according to Florentino Pérez he was quite disappointed and it seemed to me that he gave him an indirect but very direct one by stating that no player no matter how good he is he is or will be above the club... well I think that with these words it is like telling Mbappé that he no longer has anything to do after looking for Real Madrid, on the one hand it seems like a good thing to me, he is not the only one who has told him that No to Real Madrid, I also don't know if you remember Francesco Totti, the emperor of Rome never wanted to leave and was one of those who said No, so I hope that Mbappé continues to grow at PSG and doesn't go out the door behind.

Me too, all the news being pushed to me was with Zidane.

If Poch couldn't pull it off, I really don't see Galtier doing any better except perhaps he speaks the language (and I will never agree language is NOT a barrier, just look at Bielsa at the end of it all).

Zidane isn't just about aura though, it's really about him being familiar with superstars and galacticos. He knows how to handle them and manage their entourages. Something you'll require at PSG.

At last it is not known if Zidane will manage both teams? It would be a great feat on the part of the PSG sheik to have Zidane, but I'm sure Zidane would ask CR7 to strengthen his team, if this happens, I think the other teams would be afraid of them, Zidane is used to dealing with the best stars in the world, at the time he played with the best in the world, so that for him is like a walk.

I started seeing the probability of Zidane to manage PSG as lower now. It depends on whether he goes for the France job actually. Deschamps' contract is running on December 31, 2022. Therefore Zidane is going to need to be patient until the World Cup ends. However I wonder if France are even thinking of parting their ways with Deschamps too. Maybe they will extend his contract depending on his success in the tournament. If we take this into account I reckon PSG will continue with Pochettino or maybe they will sign an unexpected name.
Yeah it seems that zidane is waiting for that france team management spot otherwise psg would've signed him i wish he would go to psg at least one season until the end of the world cup i don't think the frensh federation will change a manager before the world cup since it would be risky i think zidane with psg will do wonders and he can even win the champions league.
