While PSG is still looking for a replacement for Mauricio Pochettino who will not stay, Sergio Conceicao’s name has been traded. The president of FC Porto mocked this rumor on Wednesday, at a press conference.
The Porto president has a good sense of humour. Bento da Costa was at a press conference on Wednesday, marking the introduction of Petano as the new main sponsor of the Dragon jersey. The manager took the opportunity to talk about the rumor that sent his coach Sergio Conceicao to Paris Saint-Germain, or at least mention him in the shortlist to replace Mauricio Pochettino.
‘He’s been in Paris for a long time’
The club president said: “According to my friends, Sergio Conceicao has been in Paris for a long time. Yesterday he called me and from the sound of the wind, it seemed to me that he was speaking from the Eiffel Tower.” Written statements by oh jojo. A way to end the discussion on the topic.
If he is still officially in office, there is no doubt that Mauricio Pochettino is living his last days as a Parisian coach. Last week, RMC Sport determined that Paris Saint-Germain had warned the Argentine coach about his departure. But given his contractual situation – one year left on his contract – the two parties must come to an agreement.
The Capital Club must select and complete its next coach. The two names that have emerged the most in recent weeks are Zinedine Zidane (without a club since leaving Real Madrid but hoping for the France team) and Christophe Galtier (close to Luis Campos, the newly appointed sporting advisor).
