The biggest favourites to become PSG’s new coach? The first choice is clear, but the return of Tuchel is also being bet on
PSG will probably win the league title, but they cannot win any other competition. It is out of both the Champions League and the French Cup. Moreover, coach Mauricio Pochettino is under fire from critics and there is talk about who will replace him in the summer. Who is the biggest favourite?
PSG will probably win the league title, but they cannot win any other competition. It is out of both the Champions League and the French Cup. Moreover, coach Mauricio Pochettino is under fire from critics and there is talk about who will replace him in the summer. Who is the biggest favourite?
Although there are still seven rounds to go in the French Ligue 1, the winner has been virtually decided for some time. PSG have a 12-point lead over Olympique Marseille and cannot be expected to allow drama.
However, this is the only trophy Mauricio Pochettino’s charges can win. Yet the ambitions were much bigger. With the acquisition of stars like Lionel Messi, Gianluigi Donnarruma and Sergio Ramos, the plan was to attack to win the Champions League, at least that was the plan.
However, the reality is different and the future will be interesting. The stay of star Kylian Mbappé is uncertain, and there is talk of Neymar, Messi and Ramos leaving. There should also be a change in the head coach position.
Pochettino has failed in his mission, moreover he himself is unhappy in Paris according to the French media. He could return to England. There is speculation about his return to Southampton or Tottenham.
And who could take his place at PSG? The number one choice is supposed to be the legendary Zinedine Zidane, who, one would like to say, is a specialist in the coveted Champions League, which he has won several times with Real Madrid.
The French legend is also favoured by bookmakers across Europe. According to Le Parisien, Zidane should enjoy powers that Pochettino never had. The possible departure of sporting director Leonardo is also a factor.
Ironically, the second biggest favourite is former coach Thomas Tuchel, who managed to dominate the Champions League with Chelsea after being sacked from PSG, where he still coaches.
However, other names are also floating around, albeit not very likely. Bookmakers have also written similar odds to those on Tuchel for Antonio Conte or Didier Deschamps.
It is much less likely that Arsene Wenger, Erik Ten Hag, who is expected to go to Manchester United, or Bayern Munich and Juventus coaches Julian Nagelsmann and Massimiliano Allegri will take over the PSG job.
