The morning after another failure in the Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain are preparing for a real shock.
According to reports in France this morning (Thursday), a fateful meeting will be held later today at the club's offices, with the main topic on the table being the future of Christophe Galtier: "Nasser Al Khalaifi is not satisfied and is interested in a change in the coach's position, but it is not yet clear whether his revolution will take place immediately, or whether he will wait until the end of the season."

At the moment, the leading candidate to succeed Galtier seems to be a new-old name - Thomas Tuchel, who replaced Unai Emery at the City of Lights in 2018, and was sacked in December 2020, after a rocky relationship with then professional manager Leonardo.
"El Halaifi has an excellent relationship with him," it was claimed, "but it is still unclear whether the German will want to return, or try a new challenge."
But not only Galtier's position is in doubt - the professional manager Luis Campos may also end his position.
According to journalist Matteo Marono, "The relationship between Campos and El Khalaifi deteriorated, especially in January. Campos' future will also be on the agenda at the meeting."
However, according to the same report, "Campus was one of the heroes in the extension of Kylian Mbappe's contract, and his dismissal will undermine the internal order of forces. The situation is very delicate."

Former player Jerome Rotten went on a big attack against Lionel Messi: "I don't want him to stay. He doesn't want to stay. Did you provide 18 goals or 16 assists against Angers and Clermont? In the important games, he disappeared completely! Paris thought he would help them win , but he doesn't win anything. Of course he has a good foot and a good eye, it will be the same at the age of 50, but for me, with his current character, he is not a player for the highest levels."
"We need to go back and sign young players from the Paris area," Thierry Henry said.
"You have to be able to identify with the club. What is being built there, actually? In terms of it, you have to go back and sign the best local youngsters. There is the money to make it happen, so why isn't it happening?"
