Mercato: Mourinho at the head of PSG, it heats up

Christophe Galtier still feels "legitimate" to coach PSG, as he said recently. "I am preparing for next season with Luis Campos and the president," he added. After a difficult second half of the season, his place is hanging by a thread. In fact, seeing him at the head of the Parisian team at the resumption would be a huge surprise... Moreover, the leaders of the club of the capital multiply the contacts in order to find a new coach according to various sources. Telefoot spoke of contacts with Jose Mourinho on Sunday. RMC goes further and speaks of "advanced negotiations between Campos and Jorge Mendes", the famous agent of the no less famous Portuguese technician of 60 years, currently at the head of AS Roma, seventh in the Serie A standings, winner of the Europa League Conference last season and semi-finalist of the Europa League (against Leverkusen) in a few days.

A priori, Campos and Mourinho – who have known each other for many years – would not have exchanged directly, but our colleagues reveal two important information: the football advisor of PSG has made his compatriot his priority to succeed Galtier, while the "Special One" is interested in the Red and Blue. In fact, Mourinho would only consider leaving Rome, where he is under contract until 2024, for two clubs: PSG and Real Madrid, where he officiated from 2010 to 2013, in the event of the departure of Carlo Ancelotti.

The Nagelsmann hypothesis, the Zidane dream

Telefoot also mentioned contacts with the former coach of Bayern, Julian Nagelsmann. RMC confirms but speaks of "informal discussions for several weeks with coaches or their representatives", citing the current coach of Bologna and former player in Paris, Thiago Motta, and Nagelsmann. All while recalling that "the Emir of Qatar dreams of Zinedine Zidane". It remains to be seen who will have the final say in this matter. If it is Luis Campos, it is a safe bet that Jose Mourinho will land on the banks of the Seine. But in Paris, it's never that simple, and it's often in Doha that coaches are chosen... One thing is certain: the former coach of Porto, Inter, Chelsea or Manchester United would have the shoulders for the perilous mission of coaching PSG, that's for sure. And this even if his strong character worries some internally... In the meantime, Galtier was responsible for guiding Paris-SG to what would be an 11th France championship title. Then it will be time to think about what's next.
