THE BALL – Zidane blocks (for now) Pochettino’s (Paris Saint-Germain) exit

PSG will already be trying to forget the idea of ​​signing, immediately, the French Zinédine Zidane to the technical command of the team. According to AS, over the last few days the Parisian club officials have been in negotiations not only with the former Real Madrid coach, but with Manchester United’s English, in an operation that would take Pochettino to the red devils.

With United’s expressed interest in securing Mauricio Pochettino as Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s replacement, coupled with PSG’s interest in Zidane’s entry to lead the team, the Parisians’ goal would be to hand over the Argentine coach to the English and immediately sign the French technician.

However, in recent days Zidane will have refused the approaches of the French officials, since he has other projects in hand and does not feel fully interested in embracing a team with the season already underway.

In turn, according to the AS, Mauricio Pochettino is pleased to return to the Premier League, something that could happen through Manchester, which is enhanced by the good relationship he has with Alex Ferguson, legend of the English club. Even so, the Argentinian is grateful for the opportunity given by PSG, and does not intend to turn his back on the French club.

At a press conference previewing this Wednesday’s match, against Manchester City and counting for the Champions League, Pochettino was faced with the possibility of moving to United: “I’m fine in Paris. I know the city well. Both as a player and as a coach, I’ve always gone through these types of situations. Things happen and it’s not my responsibility. What I can say, if you ask me, is that I am happy in Paris».

This carousel of changes in coaches is difficult to take place immediately, but next summer the two clubs promise to try a new approach, something that will depend on Pochettino’s performance, Zidane’s intentions and United’s projects in relation to the coach who will take over the team throughout this season. PSG should come forward with a very attractive contract for Zidane, benefiting from the compensation it will receive from United for the transfer of Pochettino.
