Christophe Galtier’s future on the PSG bench is very uncertain, Jose Mourinho’s name is increasingly being mentioned to replace the French coach. In a press conference, the AS Roma coach chose to respond with humour.
Since QSI’s arrival at Paris Saint-Germain, Jose Mourinho’s name is regularly cited among the coaches most likely to sit on the bench at the capital club. Expelled from the eighth round of the Champions League by Bayern Munich, the capital club may part ways with Christophe Galtier. According to information from RMC Sport, several names have been put forward to replace him, including that of the Portuguese technician.
Currently in Rome as he prepares for the Europa League semi-final against Bayer Leverkusen, Mourinho was asked at a press conference about his future, and the possibility of landing in Paris. “If they look for me, they won’t find me, because they haven’t spoken to me,” he laughed. If it is considered that there is no negotiation, the Portuguese do not seem to close the door openly to this option.
Discussions between Campos and Mourinho’s agent
The current seventh-team coach in Serie A ensures that he does not speak directly with the capital club, but that is not the case with his agent Jorge Mendes who has already spoken with sports advisor Luis Campos, according to RMC Sport. A favorite of the Parisian leader, PSG may be one of the only clubs with Real Madrid to be able to oust Mourinho from Roma.
The final decision will not be up to Campos, but to the Qatari decision makers who are used to choosing their coach. If Zinedine Zidane remains the prince’s dream, Mourinho’s option could appeal, but his volcanic personality may keep him off the bench in Paris. Meanwhile, the player who won the Champions League twice (Inter Milan in 2010 and FC Porto in 2004) has the opportunity to take the first step towards the Europa League final. He has already won the competition with Manchester United (2017) and Porto (2003).
