things are moving behind the scenes for the succession of Christophe Galtier!

“It’s really too early to talk about it. My future obviously depends on my sports management and my president. There is a disappointment, that’s how it is. The club pinned a lot of hopes on this competition. I am staying the course, I remain focused on the end of the season with a lot of energy and determination. The words of Christophe Galtier in the post-match press conference speak volumes about the state of mind of the PSG coach in recent hours. Totally annoyed, the former coach of LOSC and Nice is undoubtedly experiencing one of the most difficult periods since he decided to train at the highest level.

Beyond the catastrophic elimination and the overall image delivered by the club from the capital since the post-World Cup period, nothing is really going well for Galtier. First PSG coach not to reach any cup quarter-finals in his first season in the capital (Coupe de France, Champions League) since Laurent Fournier in 2004-2005, Galtier also saw Luis Campos speak. at half-time Monaco-PSG (1-3) weaken it. And what about the questions from his locker room about his ability to raise the bar, his ability to manage the stars and his tactical limits. Nothing is going so well that if a first fuse has to blow at PSG, there is no doubt that Galtier will be the one, since Luis Campos seems ready to do anything to save his skin, even if it means sacrificing the coach who did it come on the Parisian bench last summer.

Zinedine Zidane won’t come while Luis Campos is there

Behind the scenes, Paris is busy and obviously did not wait for the match and the elimination of Kylian Mbappé’s gang to prospect. Obviously, the priority of the priorities of the owner of PSG Cheick Al-Thani is called Zinedine Zidane. The planets are not far from being aligned, the emblematic ex-coach of Real Madrid, who is starting to find the long time and would like to return to service, is free, and Paris is looking for a coach. But as it stands, it is impossible to see him cohabiting with Luis Campos. If the football adviser remains in place, the chances of seeing ZZ on the PSG bench are almost nil.

On the side of Nasser Al-Khelaifi, the preference goes to the side of Thomas Tuchel. The former PSG coach, who was fired in two minutes by Leonardo on Christmas Eve, has kept solid contact with NAK. His victory in the Champions League with the Blues, his ability to lead a group of stars, his experience and his mastery of several languages ​​are all assets that could make the German technician the ideal coach. But there again, it looks complicated and Tuchel will only return to Paris if he has full powers. It is therefore difficult to see him coexist with Campos, especially after the Leonardo episode.

Italy, a privileged hunting ground for PSG

But other options exist and even mainly on the side of Italy, a well-known hunting ground for PSG where it has had its network and its preferential circuit for more than ten years. As we revealed to you, José Mourinho is one of the profiles highly appreciated in Paris and in particular by Luis Campos who could push for his compatriot with whom he has already discussed the subject, if he is still there next summer. His aura, his track record, his ability to make strong choices that has offended some stars have internal supporters. But there again it will be necessary to dislodge him from Roma and convince him to come to a club where he has had the opportunity to join several times. Thiago Motta is also an option. The former sentry knows perfectly all the workings of PSG for having played there, but also trained in a youth team. He may still be a little tender to claim PSG, despite a good season with Bologna in Serie A.

Many profiles that may suggest that the days of Christophe Galtier are numbered. But no decision should be made in haste. We will surely have to wait until the end of the season, or even the beginning of summer, to find out the name of the future Parisian coach. By then, Christophe Galtier will be on the PSG bench for the match in Brest and probably for the following ones with a coasting end to the season. Obtaining the title of Champion of France could be one of the rare satisfactions of the season for the Marseillais, perhaps the one and only for that matter…
