According to press reports, French club Paris Saint-Germain has contacted Portuguese football coach Sergio Conceicao franceinfo This Sunday.
Nagelsmann said no
While Christophe Galtier was dismissed from his coaching duties at the beginning of the month after just one season on the bench at Paris Saint-Germain, the capital club is struggling to find his successor. According to information from franceinfo, Julian Nagelsmann, the former Bayern Munich technician, will ultimately not be the future coach of the French champion.
However, several meetings were organized between PSG and the 35-year-old German coach, but the latter rejected the offer.
A check for 18 million to sign Conceição
Therefore, Paris Saint-Germain activated other methods. Thus contacts were made with Sergio Conceição. The Portuguese coach was already present in the French League when he was in charge of Nantes during the 2016-2017 season.
But Paris Saint-Germain faces a big obstacle, as Sergio Conceicao is currently under contract with FC Porto until 2024 and his release clause is 18 million euros. Club president Jorge Pinto da Costa also does not seem inclined to give in to his coach.
Therefore, Paris Saint-Germain is studying other profiles, most notably the Spaniard Luis Enrique, who won the Champions League with Barcelona in 2015, or the Italian-Brazilian Thiago Motta, the former Paris midfielder from 2012 to 2018.
A season with or without Mbappe?
