When you are the PSG coach, you are under pressure from the moment you sign.
“This is what Christophe Galtier said a few weeks ago, before tackling a crazy series in February.
Since then, the pressure has gone up a notch, over the counter-performances and defeats of its players.
Three in a row, a first since 2011, against Marseille in the Coupe de France, Monaco in Ligue 1 and of course against Bayern in the Champions League.
It's been five since the start of the year, already more than in 2022. It's especially a lot in the eyes of the leaders, our colleagues from Parisian
slipping
that a fourth loss, Sunday (1 p.m.) against Lille, would represent "
a problem for the shareholder, who would ask for change
".
A defeat in Marseille on February 26 could also invite the bosses of PSG to oust a coach in place since last summer but whose "credit
(is) limited
" now.
Same story on the side of
RMC

weakened

So much so that the names of possible successors are beginning to be mentioned here and there.
Le Parisien
recalls that "
the great dream of the Emir of Qatar, the owner, is still called Zinédine Zidane
".
Free since his departure from Real Madrid in the summer of 2021, the former playmaker of the Blues will still have to wait to succeed Didier Deschamps, extended until 2026 at the head of the France team.
Open door for Paris, despite the links of "ZZ" with Marseille?
Tuchel in ambush?
According to
RMC
, "
the dismissal of Christophe Galtier is (however) not discussed
" at this time.
A priori, there is no chance of seeing the former coach of Saint-Etienne, Lille and Nice be sacked before the return match in Munich on March 8.
Our colleagues confirm in any case that the decision-makers "
always dream
" of Zizou, slipping in passing a track that will not fail to make people talk.
“
Thomas Tuchel also has supporters at the club
“, we assure.
European champion at the head of Chelsea in 2021, a few months after… his forced departure from Paris-SG, the German technician is also free.
We know that the end of his term on the banks of the Seine had a lot to do with Leonardo, who is no longer at the club.
Tuchel also had some pretty harsh words for the overall functioning of the club.

Note that PSG have only sacked two coaches during the season since the start of the Qatari era, Antoine Kombouaré in December 2011 and Thomas Tuchel in December 2020. One thing is certain: Galtier is not the only one responsible for the current situation.
His partner Luis Campos, football adviser at Paris-SG, would inevitably be weakened if "Galette" were to be thanked soon.
