DBasia.news – Paris Saint-Germain strongly denies the issue of Mauricio Pochettino going to Manchester United. Pochettino is certain to still feel at home coaching the capital’s team.
However, Pochettino is reportedly unhappy at PSG. The Argentinean peeked at the opportunity to return to England and accepted Manchester United’s offer.
Pochettino has denied these rumors. He admitted that he wanted to finish his contract at PSG which ended in 2023.
But PSG is said to have anticipated the departure of Pochettino. One of them is by contacting Zinedine Zidane who is unemployed.
This is what makes PSG uncomfortable. Leonardo as the sporting director firmly denied the news.
“We don’t want Mauricio Pochettino to leave. He never asked to leave and nobody contacted us for him,” Leonardo told AFP.
“We have great respect for Zinedine Zidane, both as players and coaches, but I say very clearly that there is no contact. No meetings.”
Famous French media, Le Parisien did leak a secret meeting between PSG officials and Zidane. However, Leonardo confirmed it was a hoax.
“It’s ridiculous to imagine a meeting with Zinedine Zidane could happen in a big hotel in Paris, in front of everyone,” he added.
PSG do have to determine their attitude regarding Pochettino’s future in the coaching chair. This problem indirectly disturbs the concentration of the players.
Even so, Pochettino’s position in the coach’s seat is believed to be not really safe. He will most likely be sacked if PSG fail to speak much in the Champions League.
