Zoumana Camara has not forgotten Thomas Tuchel and vice versa. The current coach of the PSG National U19s, who is preparing for the BEPF (professional football coach certificate), will do his internship in a foreign professional club, compulsory in his training, at the end of the month. He chose to go to London in the Chelsea club, coached by the German. The two men appreciate each other and have kept in touch since the end of Thomas Tuchel's Parisian adventure in December 2020. During the two and a half seasons of the German technician in the club in the capital, Zoumana Camara held a deputy position in particular in charge of set pieces.
After his ousting from the Parisian sidelines on the evening of December 23-24 following PSG's L1 victory against Strasbourg (4-0), Thomas Tuchel quickly bounced back by committing a month later with Chelsea FC with which he won the Champions League last May by beating Manchester City in the final (1-0). For his part, Zoumana Camara was removed from the new Parisian staff of Mauricio Pochettino. After having been appointed to the post of sports coordinator of the training center, in charge of supervising the U17 and U19 of the Parisian club during the second part of last season, “Papus” occupies the post of coach of the U19 PSG this year. His team is in 2nd place in group A with a total of 3 wins in as many games.
Holder of the DSE (higher training diploma), which allows coaching up to N2 (4th division), “Papus” has passed the entrance tests for the DEPF training which takes place over ten weeks. One of them is devoted to an internship abroad that the candidate must find through his network. Zoumana Camara will be able to follow the training of the London training and will have to write an internship report as part of his training.
