El PSG He is already working on how to rebuild the project for the next season and return to the charge in that attempt to win the long-awaited Champions or, at least, to be close again after these last two years, falling in the round of 16 again. How did MARCA count?the reconstruction will revolve around Kylian Mbappe plus the commitment to young players committed to the club. However, the defeat has left marked, especially Christophe Galtier and his greatest supporter, the sports adviser Louis Fields, who came to the club with the renewal of Kylian.
But the big question is who would be the chosen one In the event that PSG ultimately decides to do without Galtier, with a contract until 2024 but who has not found his way since 2023 started, with six defeats already, eliminated from the Cup and the Champions League.
And how was it to be expected? the dream of Paris, both for fans, as well as leaders of France and Qatar is Zinedine Zidane. To date, and between the successive reliefs on the Paris bench, Zdiane’s name was ever put on the table. The problem is that it was always impossible, but there are several circumstances that suggest that this time there are more options than ever. For now, and as usual, What Zidane thinks and if he would accept taking the step this time is unknown.
The selection card has already been lost
Zidane wants to return to training. Since he left Real Madrid in 2021, the French team was his great wish, but under a scenario and times that have not been fulfilled. Deschamps has just renewed until 2026 by unilateral decision of Noel Le Graetalready out of the presidency of the FFF, so the former Real Madrid coach is once again looking at a club bench, although he would not consider so many options.
A return to Real Madrid, albeit remote, is a possibility. Although his relationship with the club suffered with his departure, relationships are now much more fluid. For Zidane, the white club was, is and will continue to be his home. In Spain there are no other options than a third adventure in the Bernabeu although For now, Ancelotti’s continuity is not in question, in the absence of what happens this season. In Italy, there is another special club for him, the Juventus, but it doesn’t seem like the best time to try on Turin. England, in principle, is not a possibility due to the language obstacle, an obstacle that can also be transferred to the Bundesliga. And then there is his country, France, with two clubs: the first because of its affinity of identity, the Marseilles, and the second for the size of the project, the PSG. Despite being born in Marseille, where he did not play, the coach does not see that this is an obstacle for not directing in Paris.
His links with Qatar
Zidane is an idol in Qatar, a country with which he already has a relationship. He supported the candidacy at the time and later He was the image of the World Cup and ambassador for the competition. In a lengthy interview with the daily The Team for his 50th birthday in June last year, Zidane did not close any door because, he confessed, being a player is one thing and a coach another, and he was talking about PSG: “Now it is not a current issue, but you should never say never, especially when you are a coach today. When I was a player, I could choose. As a coach I don’t have 50 clubs, there are two or three clubs I can go to. It’s reality. If I go back to a club, it’s to win. I can’t go anywhere”, Zizou pointed out, that although the door to France was not closed, Deschamps had not yet renewed: “France has not finished”.
Things to change at PSG
It is already known therefore that Zidane does not close the door of PSG, where he would coincide with Mbappé, but the coach, as in Madrid, has his conditions and his personality. The former white coach would go with the ability to decide on the project and in this he would collide head-on with Luis Campos, who arrived last season with full powers in planning and who opted for Galtier. If PSG saw, on the one hand, that Zidane It is possible, he would be forced to change the project also with the possible departure of the Portuguese, right now in the face of an uncertain future.
