The German Julian Nagelsmann will not be the next manager of Paris Saint-Germain, after both parties have not advanced in their negotiations, so Luis Enrique and Thiago Motta are now the main candidates, according to L’Equipe.
Nagelsmann was the initial objective of the management of the Parisian club, but the contacts that the coach has maintained with the sports manager of PSG, Luis Campos, came to a standstill in the middle of this week, the sports newspaper published this Saturday, citing sources Of the entity.
Once PSG has decided to dismiss the French Christophe Galtier, whose departure has not yet been made official in the absence of closing the compensation agreement, the list that Campos manages includes the Spaniards Xabi Alonso and Luis Enrique, as well as Motta, the Italian-Brazilian who played for the Parisian club.
Alonso made a striking debut in the elite this season with Bayer Leverkusen, but the German entity is not willing to see him leave and the former Real Madrid, Liverpool and Real Sociedad player did not want to face the club that has given him the opportunity, he explains L’Equipe.
He adds that Luis Enrique “has very strong support in Doha”, the capital of Qatar, whose sovereign wealth fund is the owner of PSG.
The former Spanish coach had been cited as a possible candidate for the Napoli bench, but the new Italian champion has just announced the return of Frenchman Rudi Garcia.
Motta remains, who after playing for Barcelona, ??Atlético de Madrid, Genoa and Inter ended his career at PSG, where he started on the bench with the under-19s of the Parisian team.
After managing Bologna, which finished ninth in the Italian league, PSG president Nasser al Khelaifi looks favorably on a man he knows, but has not yet been contacted by the club, L’Equipe said.
Another name that has sounded is that of the Argentine Marcelo Gallardo, also cited as a target for Marseille.
In any case, PSG wants to put an end to uncertainty in order to have a technical team ready for when the players return to training on July 4.
