There was no direct contact with Zidane, his side told RMZ Sport. Zidane's camp have denied any contact with Paris Saint-Germain as ZZ reportedly turned down the PSG manager's job, reported by Fabrizio Romano.

To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if Zidane would turn down any club's offer to take over as manager. well, we are talking on the PSG side. first, Zidane wants the privilege to manage and bring in the players he likes. secondly, Zidane doesn't like it when SPG management or bosses are involved in signing players. I mean, it's all up to Zidane's wishes. thirdly, PSG did not have good progress because they were handled by management who were not handled by competent people.
Well, now we compare it with the City. City, however, have good management and have full faith in the coach they brought in, despite rumors of FFP problems. I mean, they're signing players that the team and the coach really need. and this, was not done by PSG.

Now we refer to Conte, as we all know, Conte has a problem with the Spurs owner. what causes it, none other than because he was not given many choices according to his wishes. which in the end, Conte was removed. well, the question is whether PSG will prioritize Conte. it seems, they will refer more to Nagelamann. besides being young, talented, Nagelsmann is not the type of coach who defies his superiors, he tends to try to match his team with the philosophy of modern football. that's why Julian Nagelsmann is predicted to be the ideal choice.

By the way, this is only based on my personal point of view. so there is a wrong word, please understand. and for sure, we can't say for sure who will replace Galtier in the next season.

I do not think that PSG will be all that bad just because they are losing Messi, he wasn't the only person that made them good and won't be the reason why they may become bad. First of all, they barely won the title anyway, and they lost UCL as well, so it wasn't some epic season for them neither, and that's why I wouldn't say that it matters all that much. Secondly, I feel like we should be focusing on who they are going to get, if they get someone better than they will be fine. They still have 24 year old Mbappe, Marquinhos, Hakimi, Mendes, Donnaruma, Kimpembe. '

These are all great players they can win UCL with, and they just need to find players for other positions instead. Neymar is still there officially but I am expecting him to leave as well, that should be easy enough to see.

Yes absolutely and that is why the soccer world would actually prefer sheikhs to pour their money into a club in the Premier League rather than in Ligue 1. At least the fans get to see a lot of highly competitive games then. Imagine what a waste it would be when Haaland also went to PSG. What a waste is it right now that we can't watch Mbappe in the Premier League or in a Spanish clasico? In my opinion it is really a waste and taking away excitement from the fans. It's ok when they go to those clubs in their mid 30s, but Mbappe at his peak playing in Ligue 1 is too bad.

If you are aware, that PSG has good players in every line or in every position from goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders and strikers. But for some reason, PSG still doesn't have a consistent strong performance until the end, and so the problem PSG have is not about their players but about the coach and maybe also the management that is not right. Also, even though PSG will lose several star players and recruit other great players, but if the coach and management are not handled properly, then the result will be the same.

Yes Messi has left PSG maybe but I don't think it is like the end of the world for them. I remember the times PSG were still doing even much better than this in the tournaments they played. PSG have a lot of money to make their weak sides stronger obviously. Asensio is here to take Messi's place probably. But if he can't meet the expectations PSG can find a much stronger alternative.

The thing I'm wondering the most now is who PSG will bring in Galtier's place. There should be a coach change for sure because Galtier has been terrible at doing his job. PSG just had to make do with a Ligue 1 title which they were already used to winning it many times. They need a success in the Champions League and Galtier isn't the coach who can make this happen.

If PSG sign the right manager then it might be the start of a much better era for them.

I think what the PSG team has to change is the habit of only relying on their strikers, while others have never been better polished. Even though a great squad is a squad whose lines are really good and not weak so that PSG can get quite satisfying results when fighting in big competitions. Not only in Ligue 1, but in competitions like the UCL PSG also needs to pay more attention so it's important to rely on all the players in any line.

I remember galtier has ever said on his interview if he was not fully exploring messi. I meant he's still found difficulties to maximize the skills that owned by messi. Messi was amazing but from what already said by galtier if PSG was making a mistake by signed unprofessional coach to manage PSG.

I think that for a big scale club like PSG and it looks so pity if this club will not able to hire a good coach. To be honest, naglesmann was not as good as people think.
He was still young and i will prefer to take xabi from leverkusen rather than him caused by xabi was able making leverkusen played even better and leave from the relegation zone.

He has been also ever being coached by some world class club like pep or mourinho.

Is this and end of an era for PSG dream team ? They didn't win UCL and now everyone seems to leave or about to leave next year.

I know the Messi situation will continue to be on front page on every newspaper but I really believe that his move to Inter is bad one as he still has a lot to offer to football in Europe but I guess after he full filled his dream to win WC , his desire to play top football is kinda gone. In MLS , he will  simply destroy them but he has to be mega careful to avoid injuries because those players are not used to what Messi will do to them.  

After end of the season, we have too many rumors about PSG and their future with many star players are already on their way for new clubs and few are having talks in progress with PSG management is also looking for the coach which able to give them Champions League with their first choice Zidane is already reject offer which is surely embarrassing for them but no one can do anything regarding this, so now we have two more names in their with Naglsmann and Mourinho which can join them, but it's too early with Conte is also in list which is interested so how things will be ended we have to wait for the official statement because right now all just news from different sources nothing from main parties.

I want to see what steps Paris Saint Germain will take after they are left with their star players, will they buy star players again, or will they change their habits by relying on a lot of young players. It would be interesting if they did the second option, namely by increasing the number of players with the potential to become big players in the future.

Despite failing to get a place in the champions league next season it seems that Rennes will be quite happy to be in the European league zone next season. Even though they started the season quite well with a lot of wins, it's just that in the middle of the season they lacked consistency so that they failed to get at least 3rd place in the standings. This season Rennes got 21 wins from 38 matches and in the last 5 matches they got 4 wins, in fact it still counts as a pretty good result this season for Rennes.

In last few years, PSG spend huge funds for the win of Champions League, but sadly they have never been spent money for having good combination of winning players which is more important instead of having many stars to win any cup because this is never been ideal to win just because of having star players.

They need to work on their structure which helps them for having few players which give them good backup and also having good mentality for staying positive for any competition in French Ligue 1 they have no good team which give them challenge, so they are able to have better result in Champions League.

Now they are losing all stars and having no way to go with Zidane is not interested to join them as coach with this now their best choice is Mourinho which is also well experienced coach and can bring better results, but they need to work on long term instead of after spending huge funds on star players for win the big title.

It is right that Mbappe has found his way by going to be come the only and undisputed super star of PSG. Looking at it from the unity part,  I can say that it will be a win win case for both Mbappe and PSG, as Mbappe will settle his ego while PSG will pay lesser wage due to the departure of Messi and Neymar,  and also the division in the team created by the influence of the triplet star will no longer exist. It is either you are in the click of Mbappe or you remain silent and then the coach won't have too much problem managing individual players and all efforts would be channel to learning to play good football.

Yes it's true, there is no point in blaming Mbappe because PSG failed to win the UCL because of their selfishness. In my opinion, PSG must find the right coach to manage PSG and their star players. We know that PSG owners are very ambitious to win the UCL league trophy. That is clearly their main target, PSG.

However, the step taken by PSG by bringing in top and experienced players in the UCL, such as Ramos, Messi, Donnaruma and coupled with Neymar, Mbappe plus the other best PSG squad, is actually not the best and quick solution. Nothing is instant and fast, let alone to dominate Europe in the UCL event. Everything takes a long process, Real Madrid and the Los Galacticos squad themselves took a long time to become UCL champions. But now that these star players have left PSG, it's time for PSG to look for new players and make a solid team for next season.

Yes, it seems that Mbappe still has goals with PSG, it is possible to achieve the target, which is to win the UCL next season, which has not been achieved so far as long as Mbappe is at PSG, but I think after Messi's departure, of course Mbappe needs players who can be assists for Mbappe to score goals in opponent's goal.

PSG need to overhaul their players a lot to get better next season especially as we know they always fail in the last 16 of the UCL, so of course PSG need talented young players to be able to fill the void in their squad team at PSG, for example also in defense. which is very important to make the defense stronger besides their front line.

Actually it's not a problem for PSG to do something like that because they still have plenty of money and they can still just do it in conditions like now. Looking for a player labeled a star must also be seen in terms of age conditions and compatibility with the club.
PSG don't pay too much attention to that (just like Todd did to Chelsea) they only see good players and buy them but don't really see if these players will fit or not later.
If things like that continue to be carried out, the results will not change and I feel that PSG will continue like this stagnantly and without change.

PSG spent a lot of money and signed several star players. Even then their performance was not good. Even though the Ligue 1 teams are not very strong, the PSG team cannot perform well. Even PSG spent a lot of money to win the Champions League title. But their performance in the Champions League was worse. Even though they have a lot of money, PSG management can buy star players even if Messi and Neymar leave the team. We will see a lot of star players in PSG's squad next season as well. However, Ligue 1 is not very competitive. And I think the Newcastle team is much stronger than PSG right now. Because the Premier League is very competitive. The standards of Ligue 1 teams are much lower than Premier League teams.

It is a fact, I think PSG could go looking for or sweetening Haaland, and any of the players who are shining worldwide, but of course, they are also showing themselves to Brazil, which is where I think there is a lot of talent, no matter how bad it is have gone to Brazil, these players always have that special talent and make a difference, thanks to them everything related to soccer has been placed with a high level of competition, South America is one of the continents where Europe has been taught a lot about Soccer Well, I cannot deny that in Europe there are players that I admire with all my being, one of them CR7, Mbappé, Ibrahimovic , but here in this part of the world, it is where the Players who set the pace have Come out.


Well I agree with what you say, PSG has to know which players are the best to adapt to their style of play, it should be noted that they had the most dangerous trident in the world Messi-Mbappé-Neymar, nothing more and nothing less than two footballers from the most influential is an Argentine and a Brazilian considered the best in the world and a Frenchman who shows that French football, apart from being very elegant, has players that are getting better and better and of a high level, if they did not manage to win the UCL , What can the Sheikh expect if I have not yet seen players of their level, there are some who are young, but who do not stand out like them, I think that PSG made the mistake of their Lives by leaving Messi and leaving the Coach , I would never in my life Leave Messi.

That is what I have been emphasizing, no matter how good players a team has, world-class stars, the failure is not their fault, well Hypothetically it is, because they go out on the Field and they are the ones who lose, the really losers For me he is the coach, and it causes me a lot of controversy that they let Messi go and the same coach continues, I don't know how fútbol is handled well in France, but no matter how old Messi is , he is a Player who does anything and It turns it into a goal, but if it is misdirected it is obvious that they will never win a UCL , in fact they did not win it with them, less chance they have later if they hire new Players without the same Quality.


an Luis Saurez :


Luis Suarez: 'Impossible' for me to join Lionel Messi at Inter Miami

I don't know, but in my personal opinion, I think that Messi made the wrong choice, because the MLS is like burying his career as a footballer, it's not the same anymore, but you have to ask David Beckham and other much older ones who were stars in his time as Kid Valderrama, now Busquets and Luis Suarez are not as influential for me as Messi is, that's why I clarify that it's just my personal perception, I think Messi chose his early retirement, and this is often the fault of a club that he doesn't value his players, and of course, the fans too, because they were already treating him very badly, otherwise you have to ask CR7 to see how they treated him at Manchester United.

That is exactly the point and that is why I am not a big fan of picking a league that is inferior and then invest a billion and celebrate the team for winning the title on a yearly basis. Not a lot of people are truly excited when they can watch Neymar, Messi and Mbappe play against Troyes. But what if they hypothetically be playing for Newcastle instead and people get to see them to play against Manchester United / City, Liverpool, Tottenham, Chelsea etc. Having those three guys play for the Ligue 1 title in the same team became very boring over time. Everyone was waiting for half a year to pass until the knockout games in the Champions League finally began and if PSG got eliminated early, then the season was essentially over.

PSG's ambition to pursue the UCL trophy is quite large. even though they always fail, but I think they will still be looking for some players for the transfer market this summer. moreover they were left behind by several important players in the squad. of course if you want to compete PSG have to spend quite a lot this season. unless they only want to dominate Ligue 1 without having a UCL target like in previous seasons.
