Mauricio Pochettino tired of PSG, Leonardo in great difficulty, Paris is desperate two weeks from finding Real Madrid. Enough to further reinforce the thesis of seeing Zinedine Zidane arrive quickly on the bench. And to convince him, Paris is ready to do all the follies.
We announced it to you in October, Zinedine Zidane is now very hot to coach PSG. At first reluctant, and approached several times in recent years, the three-time Champions League winner on the Real Madrid bench, dreaming of coaching the French team, understood that Didier Deschamps could finally extend the adventure with the Blues. A boon for Nasser Al-Khelaïfi and for PSG, who have dreamed for a very long time of giving the keys to the PSG truck to the child of Castellane. In November, rumors sending Mauricio Pochettino instead of Ole Gunnar Soksjaer only reinforced the possible arrival of ZZ in the capital. But the choice to take Ralf Rangnick from the Red Devils and the reluctance of PSG to let the Argentinian technician slip away at this stage of the season put an early end to the rumor. Nevertheless, contact has been maintained between the management of the Qatari club and the entourage of the 1998 world champion (especially in recent days), who are always very keen to come to the Parisian bench.
The timing is obviously not ideal, even if PSG still does not convince in the game. Mauricio Pochettino has the worst win ratio for a coach since the arrival of QSI at the head of the capital club and that he was eliminated from the Coupe de France by Nice at the Parc after failing in the Trophée des Champions against Lille at the start of the season. Of course, the meeting against Real Madrid in less than a fortnight at the Parc des Princes and even more generally the final outcome of the double confrontation with the merengue club will undoubtedly decide whether or not Pochettino will remain in office. . A situation which becomes untenable whatever happens for the former coach of Tottenham, who is really more and more fed up with his Parisian situation at all levels. Behind the scenes, Pochettino clearly does not plan to continue the adventure at PSG the Parisian season regardless of the final outcome of the season and the titles won.
An XXL salary and full powers at PSG for Zidane
Aware of this situation, Nasser Al-Khelaifi and above all Sheikh Tamim ben Hamad Al Thani took things in hand personally to prepare the post-Pochettino period in the short or medium term. A future in two letters: ZZ. According to the opinion of the Qatari board, only Zidane is capable of restoring order in a locker room of stars filled with clans and where privileges and privileges are commonplace. Unai Emery, Thomas Tuchel and therefore Mauricio Pochettino broke their teeth in the face of this situation and quickly threw in the towel both in the face of the omnipresence of Nasser Al-Khelaifi and his special relationships with certain players and in the fact of suffering so much the transfer market both for recruits and for the poor management of departures.
Thus, according to our information, it is a colossal salary which is offered to Zinedine Zidane to convince him to come on the PSG bench. A sum well above Mauricio Pochettino’s current salary (€8 million net per year) and even Zizou’s last contract with Casa Blanca during his second spell (€12 million net per year). Moreover, QSI are ready to offer full powers to the former Madridista. And as Zidane does not intend to work with Leonardo, it is difficult to see the Brazilian sporting director, who is moreover currently very criticized for his management of the last transfer windows, staying in place alongside the 49-year-old French technician, who thinks more his side to Arsène Wenger to support him in Paris. One thing is certain, the arrival of ZZ could fold the cards in the Parisian locker room.
