changing coaches will not make PSG win the Champions League. Because PSG since 2012 have tried to replace their coach with a popular coach. But none of the coaches have succeeded in making PSG win the Champions League trophy, when Laurent Blanc was PSG coach from 2013 to 2016, he managed to give 11 trophies and became the most successful PSG coach. Of the 11 trophies there is no Champions League trophy, so it's not because of a coach problem that made PSG fail to win the Champions League trophy.
I am not entirely sure. Of course just one coach would not change a lot, they need to retain Mbappe or get someone at that level. The talks have been about Salah, and truth be told they could pay for Salah for sure, they have that much money without a doubt. If they could Salah, and maybe like one scorer, that would be insane for them.

At left wing Neymar, at right win Salah, at behind striker Messi, and a decent level striker (not even like Haaland, just a good one is enough) would mean that they would be able to use Zidane to win UCL. I know it wouldn't be easy, but they will certainly be doing better under Zidane than how they did with Pochettino.

They have money, they have highest paid players in French Ligue 1. Top most are Neymar, Messi and Mbappe respectively. Mbappe is the third most highest player at PSG, however he is the most focused among them. Waste off money exception of Mbappe is worth it, but can they retain him? He can be paid more only if stay at PSG however nothing is permanent. He could leave, yet they should need to supplant him with a quality striker. Till now, all that money for nothing. Recently lost at Bernabéu and their dreams to win Champions League trophy disappear. Best substitution is here the only solution, under best coach. Pochettino have not any more opportunity.

Pochettino is not an experienced coach in fact he never won the league trophy when he coached Tottenham, I think it was a mistake PSG still kept Pochettino while many star players previously Pochettino had never coached a big team that was inhabited by star players.
yes of course Zidane is PSG's main target next season because Zinade is very experienced on the UCL stage even Zinade is the UCL record holder who won successively while coaching Real Madrid.
Changing Pochettino might change a lot who knows. Not just because we feel he is inexperienced enough to handle PSG but for the fact that he doesn't know whom to bench in a match and whom to start with. One biggest issue with PSG at the moment is the number of quality players the have and it takes stepping on toes to make the best out of the team. Zidane is experienced but will he create a chance for PSG to get to the finals of next years champions league?

The only way for PSG to win the UCL title is to change the coach, because in terms of the squad, basically PSG are already extraordinary but unfortunately they don't have the right coach. I personally hope that the rumors about Zidane being signed by PSG as a replacement for Pochettino are true, so I believe that PSG will be able to penetrate the UCL even further.

I would rather call the squad of City or Liverpool (and Real Madrid next season) extraordinary. PSG are strong on paper, but in fact Neymar played average (injuries can be taken into account here), Messi is old and also plays average, Donnarumma also plays poorly - he has failures. Next season, the situation will get worse - Mbappe will leave, Messi will age even more, what will happen to Neymar is unknown, but it is unlikely that he will change for the better. In fact, the new coach will build a team almost from scratch.
Even if you look at the rumors currently circulating Messi and Neymar will leave because Neymar is being targeted by an English club and Messi is likely to leave because of his contract.
PSG's performance is still more or less the same as before, both individually and not as a team.
It's very difficult to unite great players with so many egos out of them and this happened to PSG.
Speaking of Donaruma, I even prefer Navas' performances in goal from PSG

PSG could not have been in the top 4 if they had been in the Premier League and would not have qualified for the Champions League. They may have a lot of money. The squad has a lot of star players. But still their match strategy and style of play is very weak. PSG's management should hire experienced coaches before spending money on star players. If the coach is not experienced enough, no matter how much money they spend, they will not get the desired result.
I disagree, you are thinking the top teams of premier league and can name some good teams, but we are talking about PSG playing against Everton, Norwich, Watford and so forth as well, so they would be doing fine for sure. They could be in top 4, looking at it right now, do you really think that they are worse than Arsenal? I mean even Chelsea wouldn't have this easy time.

The only two teams I would put ahead of PSG would be LFC and City easily, but aside from those two, I would guess that with enough money like this, they would be doing fine. You want proof? Newcastle was nearly the last in the league and spent 100 million and they became better overnight and just kept on winning games.

We all know that there is a serious quality difference between the French League and the Premier League. But I also do not allow PSG not to make it to the top four. It could have been behind City and Liverpool, but we would have seen it in the top 4 for sure.
Although we have seen PSG playing weaker than we thought in European games, things are a little different in league games and I think they are a good team Smiley

Change the manager won't solved the issue because PSG already did this several times but until now their highest achievement on UCL was only final match on 2019 and in my view the current issue from PSG is they were ignoring the process to build good team because they want instantly and as you can see from PSG players that mostly star players only available for forward players but for position defenders or midfielders mostly available for mediocre players so PSG won't get champion league trophy only rely on the forward players

I agree with you, changing coaches will not make PSG win the Champions League. Because PSG since 2012 have tried to replace their coach
with a popular coach. But none of the coaches have succeeded in making PSG win the Champions League trophy, when Laurent Blanc was PSG
coach from 2013 to 2016, he managed to give 11 trophies and became the most successful PSG coach. Of the 11 trophies there is no Champions
League trophy, so it's not because of a coach problem that made PSG fail to win the Champions League trophy. But as you said PSG brought in
too many forwards, even though their midfield and defender are too many mediocre players. PSG's midfield was only Verratti who in my opinion
played quite well, then their left wing back didn't play well. And for the central defenders they rely too much on Kimpembe and Marquinhos.
PSG must strengthen their midfield and defender, because a good team is not enough to have good strikers, but must also have quality midfielders
and defenders as well.

I totally agree with you. The main reason for PSG's poor performance is their coaches. PSG's squad had a lot of experienced players from Forward, Midfield and Defense 3 places. But the coach's match strategy was very weak.

I kinda love it when people just goes straight and blame the manager for all these. What were you guys expecting anyway? PSG literally played in Ligue 1 and they have it the easy way though. They just lose 3 games out of the last 5 games and they are still 12 points ahead of the 2nd position so its kinda understandable that they are getting it rough on the UCL but they are still going to win the Ligue 1 anyway so thats atleast something this season rather than getting none I guess

I think realistic ideas with PSG for possibility to champion league trophy by change coach and let give chance for getting Zidane as new coach for PSG, I think need coach with a lot experience and know how to make team keep working together without any individual skill showed, Pochettino not have any character how to change PSG will be better although have potential on Ligue 1 but also he was got many time loss on domestic league and eliminating from champion league on 16 round.

PSG have not much thing left for this season. They are like aimless for this season from now on. Of course, they are aiming to win the title of the Ligue 1 now. And they won't have much trouble while getting to it. But it was already an easy-to-reach target for them to me. The main target was to win the Champions League title but they couldn't even reach the semi final. What a disappointing experience for them! And Pochettino is very likely to get sacked after the end of the season.
to win the French league title for PSG is a very easy thing to reach where in recent years they have always won League 1 but their target is the European Champions league which until now they have not been able to realize including this year they were eliminated by real Madrid in the round of 16, maybe PSG should be more patient in order to become king of Europe in an indefinite period of time, considering the quality of the French league and the Champions League is certainly much different where many big teams take part in the competition

But he did not take any steps to change his weak match strategy. If Zidane takes over as PSG's coach, PSG will definitely become stronger.

PSG was disappointed even when they did not expect the disappointment. When the fixtures were made between Madrid and psg, I predicted that Madrid will qualify due to bunch of experience in the club(individual and team champions league experience). Then after the first leg, I was still tipping Madrid to qualify, but during the second leg as psg scored, I lost hope for Madrid, not knowing that Benzema has wonders to perform.

As for ligue 1, it belongs to psg, next season they can fight again

PSG still haven't found the right manager for themselves. And this makes them become more unsuccessful in the Champions League. Pochettino is not the right guy for this job as it seems. And there is a feeling in me like that Zinedine Zidane is going to be the best manager choice for them. As he is French too, I think PSG won't have a big difficulty in convincing him to come here. Zidane is a really great manager and every team that have him are really lucky. If this deal happens, I'll be looking forward to seeing his strategies here.

Maybe you are right but here I want to add something more like they need to change manager and some fortune as well because it's also not going with them in many years even they change few managers for this elite trophy. Current manager Pochettino is not bad at all and having some quality players is an extra bonus for them, but sadly still they fail to have this.

If Zidane is coming then surely some fortune is also coming with him because he is legendary player and coach with some good success rate after arrival of this new manager they need to settle players as well because now most chances Mbappé is also going, and surely they will have some more changes specially in defense they need to do some better work for next season.


Champions League surely completely different from domestic league, it needs some better and skilled players for having some better results.

I don't think Pochettino is the only reason why PSG failed in the Champions League but everyone there should be held accountable for that failure. Fans cannot blame a particular individual like Lionel Messi because in reality Messi has contributed a lot to PSG in the Champions League with some of his goals and assists. It is impossible for Messi or any PSG player to win a game alone, and their treatment of Messi has drawn criticism from various quarters.

Mbappe said some PSG players did not play with all their heart and also did not give maximum effort to contribute to the team. They only care about money and high salaries while they don't have a proper contribution to the team.

It is very likely that Mauricio Pochettino will be sacked at the end of the season considering that the manager failed to bring Les Parisiens to the UCL competition this season because they lost to Real Madrid. Messi and Neymar are players who often play in the final of the UCL but this season they were not able to penetrate the semifinals . 
I suspect there will be an overhaul of coach management in the coming season.
Pochettino's adventure at PSG has not lived up to expectations, and neither have the players they have. PSG failed to reach the quarter-finals because they didn't have the form of a team with a lot of top players, they were too selfish on the pitch and we can see that in the way they play.

After this season it was confirmed that PSG failed in the Champions League, so Pochettino's position was on the edge where he was expected to leave at the end of the season. As many have said, Pochettino doesn't have much Champions League experience with Tottenham and he's always been a loser and now PSG also know the facts.
With so many star players at PSG, of course, the club owners expectations are getting bigger, but their hopes are now in vain after spending quite a lot of money but PSG failing in the champions league, PSG biggest weakness because they have many star players but they don't having a coach who is capable of uniting these players on the field, Pochettino lack of experience in coaching big teams and his lack of experience in European competitions makes PSG no different than a mediocre team when facing other teams in the champions league, I think now is the time for PSG to get rid of Pochettino and recruiting a coach who is truly capable of making PSG a feared club in Europe.
