Tuchel during a PSG C1 match in November 2020
In the event of separation with Christophe Galtier, Paris Saint-Germain is considering the return of Thomas Tuchel. The German technician is not opposed to this idea, but he will need to be reassured on certain points to try the Parisian experience again.
By beating Lille on the wire on Sunday (4-3), Christophe Galtier gave himself a little air. The Paris Saint-Germain coach may say to himself “supported by management“, he knows that a fourth consecutive defeat could have cost him his place. The technician is also aware that he is not yet saved.
Galtier remains threatened
Next Sunday, the club from the capital will travel to Marseille. And Galtier would be well advised not to lose a second Classic in a row, less than three weeks after elimination from the Coupe de France against OM (1-2).

On condition of being protected fromplayer powerand to be able to concentrate on his job as a coach at a club where we don’t just talk about football. Before his departure in 2020, he wondered “am I still a coach or am I a politician, a sports minister?»
If a return of Tuchel to PSG seemed impossible at the time of Leonardo, with whom the German technician did not get along at all, the situation is different with Luis Campos, who replaced the Brazilian last summer. On the other hand, the sports adviser also has other ideas in mind. He, for example, contacted his compatriot José Mourinho, currently stationed at AS Roma, to take the temperature on a possible future collaboration.
