rennes failed to take advantage of a good opportunity to win in the match against nice, even though the pressure given by rennes was more than NICE, but NICE is a strong team too.  most likely rennes position ^{(currently Rennes is in second position)} will be shifted by marseille because marseille will definitely win against saint-etienne ^{(match postponed)}.

Nice - Rennes match is nearly upon us. There are less than two hours left for this interesting match. It is an attracting one because of its importance for the third and second places in the league table now. Nice's odd has gone down a little more but Rennes are still shown as the favourite by bookies. Rennes are favoured especially due to their great form in the recent times. But they have some important players absent for this match also. I don't think Nice will lose this match.

Lille should be able to take the three points today against bordeaux a team not able to get points even at home only four wins all season long plus lille team is having a good time recently they didn't conceid a goal in the last six games and they are 2 points away from the fifth position this should give them extra motivation.

PSG needs a new coach, because Pochettino is not doing the job they signed him for. Scouts will meet Zidane and offered him the managerial job at PSG. Rumours has it that Zidane might consider coaching PSG. It will be of great benefits to PSG fans and the team in general. He is an experience coach and he knows the challenges of PSG. Imagine a coach that made real Madrid life the trophy 3 times in a row without any obstacles. It was when he left Madrid that they lose their best form. They have all it takes to lift the Champions league trophy but Pochettino failed, so as the team. Their pattern of play is not quite different and they are always knock-out at early phase.

I cannot say that PSG problem of not winning the Champions League is caused by coaching. Pochettino is a good coach, even when he was in England, he had an average team and he did wonders with it. Having a good team he also did well, being eliminated by Real Madrid shouldn't be seen as weakness.
The problem of PSG is that they play much against low rating clubs and it affects them when they face real big teams.

Zidane to PsG will be a good move because Zidane knows how to manage big players in a team and have result.

This is a very important match for Rennes and OGC Nice if they want to go to the second place in the points table. Because Rennes and Nice are only 1 and 3 points apart from Marseille in second place. So the team that wins this match will probably be able to move to second place in the table. However, Nice and Rennes faced each other and Nice won the last two matches by 2-1. However, Nice will not win easily in this match, Rennes will definitely want to win this match and go to second place in the table.

Nice will facing strong opponent this time because Rennes so far can win 6 times streak in France league and had better position on standings league but Nice also not weak because for home matches they got 4 win in all competitions but first met for both of teams Nice was lose with slim score and in my view this match will very tight because Nice and Rennes have same target that champion league zone but draw result probably deserved for them because in my view they were equally strong

Yeah. It is good in theory. Zidane is a smart and successful coach so far. He has made some records in history of Champions Leauge as a very few person who can win it as both player and coach. More impressively, he is the first coach who wins 3 Champions League consecutively. The first ever and it seems to be very challenging for any coach to repeat it.

But his good records don't automatically bring Champions League cup to Paris for PSG. They will have to comprehend his philosophy and need luck to beat all opponents around Europe in order to win Champions League.

If Zidane accepts PSG's offer then this is the biggest good news for PSG. Because they have an extraordinary squad, the squad has no shortage of talented and star players. Their only shortcoming was the lack of experienced coaches. PSG has failed to improve itself due to lack of experienced coaches and poor match strategy. If Zidane takes charge of PSG. Then maybe PSG will be able to do better in the Champions League next season.

Of course, there is nothing certain about the Zinedine Zidane transfer for PSG. But I'm sure that he is their prioritized target for the manager position. Pochettino has no chance to stay here from now on I think. He had a big task like winning the Champions League title but he failed very early. Winning the Ligue 1 title won't change anything as it is already easy for the team with any manager. Zinedine Zidane wasn't thinking of any manager job some time ago. But if he changed his mind, then he might be likely to accept PSG's offer.

What to expect? do they hate each other? I think their relationship is quite good and indeed this is a football thing and it is an El Clasico that has been a memory for them in La Liga and I don't think that is too much of a problem with this, except that he is not very professional to do that.

on the other hand there is no big enough problem when they face each other in El Clasico too. It's only Sergio who is indeed almost every El Clasico after Messi, now they get along, especially with Zidane

Maybe Zidane will accept offering from PSG because last chance he rejected to be Manchester United manager because he can't speak english well and face difficulty communicating with Manchester United player have to speak with English language, but I think not any reason have to reject offering from PSG because he from France and actually all PSG player available for communicating using France language, but still waiting with Zidane without any rumors so far and Ligue 1 still have several match later before ended.

Yes, it's funny when a coach refuses to coach a team just because of Messi, that's very funny, man. Anyway, if a coach doesn't like a player then the coach can fire him, this happened with Ronald Koeman at Barcelona until Luis Suárez fired. I think it's unprofessional, because if the player doesn't have a problem with the team and still makes a good contribution, then why sack him. Also, Zidane is from France which is very likely Zidane will accept the offer, because then Zidane will provide high achievements for the French team where it will be a mission for him to lift the team from France to succeed in the highest European stage like UCL.

Probably but I am keen on a possibility that Zidane is patiently waiting for a job with France national team after the World Cup 2022. The job in PSG and Paris is great but if Zidane won't take it, I think the only reason to explain it is he waits for chance with his national team.

Pochettino might be sacked because of bad result in PSG but I have another opinion. Indeed, Pochettino did not actually make things too bad in Champions League. He almost managed to bring good results and good tactics for PSG but what happen in last 30 minutes of second leg is not what he can actually manages by himself. Players are ones responsible for what happen on field mostly, the coach can not play on behalf of players or can not control their mentality.

PSG renewed a contract with Marquinhos even he did make bad mistakes in Champions League so if PSG can not find a better coach, they might keep using Pochettino.

Rumors of a change of a coach are being blown from PSG, reportedly will a sack Pochettino who is considered to have failed to meet the expectations of the club owner, now Zidane name has emerged as a coach after PSG collaboration with Pochettino ended.
It is very possible for a zidane to accept an offer from PSG, because he can make a new history with the French club. PSG squad is very complete, a zidane can apply any formation he wants.
Regarding Messi presence in the PSG squad, it is not a problem, the rivals are only on the pitch for 90 minutes, they really RESPECT each other, because Zidane is also a former football player.

looks like this will be difficult to materialize. Zidane is rumored to be coaching PSG. The reason is that the current coach is still on a contract that ends next year. Even though PSG could terminate the contract and sign Zidane, I don't think Zidane would easily accept the offer.
It's a shame that there are so many star players at this club. but the game and the results showed may not satisfy the club owner.

Really, if things go like this, it is likely that this team will break down and it is a pity because for me it was among the best in the world, I think that if things turn out like this it would be a pity, since all the money that has been invested in the The best players in the world are going to the bin and I think that PSG would remain as the experimental team that never worked, I think that a suitable coach could be Zinedine Zidane, and I fall short if he does not demand that he leave on the condition of having CR7, if they fulfill this and tell Messi to stay, I think this will be a league of another level, then PSG would have another face.

It is certain that Pochettino will be fired by PSG's management, because he failed to win the Champions League trophy which is PSG's main target
this season. So even if PSG won the Ligue 1 trophy this season, it would not make Pochettino's position safe. After all, Pochettino looks very
incapable of controlling the attitude of PSG's star players who are selfish and too individual. Therefore, if we look at PSG's game, there is
no good cooperation between players, so it's only natural that they are finally eliminated from the Champions League.

It's true that the strongest candidates are Zidane and Simeone, but Simeone has been the coach of Atletico for a long time and also he earns a big
salary at Atletico, so it's likely that Simeone will be loyal to Atletico. The strongest possibility is Zidane, but don't know if Zidane will accept the offer
from PSG, because from some of the news that I read Zidane actually really wanted to be the coach of the French national team. Therefore PSG
have prepared a backup plan if they fail to bring in Zidane, according to rumors PSG are trying to take advantage of the condition of Roberto Mancini
who is likely to resign or be sacked, after failing to bring Italy through to the 2022 World Cup. But PSG must compete with Man United who are
also interested in Roberto Mancini, if Man United fail to reach an agreement with Erik ten Hag or Mauricio Pochettino, Mancini is another alternative
to become Man United's main coach next season.

I don’t know if Zidane will accept the job because he loves to have complete authority at the club, but at PSG that won’t really be possible. Lastly I’m not sure if he would really like to coach Messi who’s been his arch rival for a long time now?, hence for these reasons I feel that Zidane won’t coach PSG.

PSG again buried their dream of winning the champions league title, in the second leg they were hit by Real Madrid with a score of 3-1, the failure of the champions league made Pochettino's future threatened, the club is already looking for a replacement for Pochettino for the 2022-2023 season, there are already several coaches who is PSG's target for next season, Zidane is at the top of the list to train PSG next season, if PSG fail to get Zidane they will definitely sign Diego Simeone, it's really a shame for a star-studded team but failed in the champions league. but I'm optimistic Zidane definitely want to accept a proposal from PSG.
