“Obviously, I deserve to continue my job of leading PSG. Because I have given my all this season with a lot of energy,” coach Galtier said in a meeting after PSG’s 1-1 draw against Strasbourg. At dawn on May 28 (Hanoi time), “I was able to continue fighting in very difficult times. The players did not disappoint me and we are the champions of France.”
“For PSG, a disastrous season is when you don’t win the cup. We have achieved a goal from the beginning. We failed in the Cup and Champions League but things were very complicated in the second half. of the season,” concluded the 56-year-old coach.
PSG drew Strasbourg 1-1, thereby becoming the Ligue 1 champion a round early. At this time, “Le Parisien” is 4 points ahead of Lens while the season has only one round left. On the side of Strasbourg, the host also successfully relegated.
Despite bringing PSG to the throne, Galtier is not on the nomination list for the best coach award in Ligue 1 2022/23. The French military leader made a mark when helping Lille win Ligue 1 in the 2020/21 season. Galtier then moved to Nice before joining PSG in the summer of 2022. However, what Galtier showed in the new team did not meet expectations.
According to information from RMC Sport, the Parc des Princes club is looking for a new coach to replace Galtier. One of the candidates mentioned is the head coach of AS Roma, Jose Mourinho.
Luis Campos wants to bring Mourinho back to Paris but still has to wait for an official decision from the owners in Doha. Mourinho fits the club in a number of ways, but the Portuguese also has a very strong personality. Zinedine Zidane is another top target for PSG but the situation is increasingly impossible for the French capital club. Galtier still has hope to stay at PSG if the team has no other solution.
