With the arrival of Luis Campos as “football adviser”, Paris Saint-Germain laid the first milestones of its revolution. The club now has at the head of its sports management an experienced man, recognized by all, who will, as the club indicates, “organize, recruit and manage the performance of the first team“. Already at work, Luis Campos has a first priority file to deal with: the Mauricio Pochettino case.
Farewell message on social media?
Argentinian, still under contract with Paris Saint-Germain until June 2023, is in the hot seat. But to part with it, the club from the capital must negotiate, and the note could be salty, around 20 million euros for him and his technical staff, according to estimates. As a reminder, Laurent Blanc had pocketed with his staff more than 23 million euros in compensation after his dismissal in 2016. On his Instagram account, the 50-year-old technician published stories which looked very much like farewell messages, a season and a half after joining Paris.
Two men for one job: Galtier and Zidane
Once this file is settled, then Paris Saint-Germain can find him a successor. Two tracks emerge. According to information from France Bleu Paris, Christophe Galtier is the choice of Luis Campos, Zinedine Zidane that of the Qatari shareholder. But there are still many steps before one of these two men is on the bench for Paris Saint-Germain next season.
