DBasia.news – Zinedine Zidane is again rumored to be in charge of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). This is even predicted to happen after the last 16 of the 2021-2022 Champions League.
Mauricio Pochettino’s position as PSG coach is indeed on the brink. It could not be separated from the elimination of Les Parisiens from the Coupe de France event.
PSG’s move was stopped in the 16th round after being defeated by Nice on penalties. This failure makes a trophy certainly out of the hands of the French giant.
PSG failed to defend the Coupe de France title after being eliminated in the 16th round.
This result is certainly a disgrace for the star-studded PSG. No wonder a number of club officials want to kick Pochettino out.
Zidane’s name then emerged as the main candidate to replace Pochettino. But the tactician would not take it for granted.
According to Telefoot reports, Zidane is reluctant to take over from Pochettino now. The match against Real Madrid in the last 16 of the 2021-2022 Champions League was the main reason.
Zidane does not seem ready to meet his former club in the near future. Therefore he prefers to accept PSG’s offer next summer.
Even so, Zidane could have arrived sooner. However, this is very dependent on the results of the duel between PSG and Madrid.
If PSG are able to get rid of Madrid, Pochettino’s position will be safe at least until the end of the season. On the other hand, the failure to advance to the quarter-finals will almost certainly end the Argentine coach’s career at the Parc des Princes.
It is at this moment that PSG will insist on appointing Zidane as the new coach. All means will be done by Nasser Al-Khelaifi’s club to make the 49-year-old coach willing to sign a contract.
