Reports indicate that Julian Nagelsmann will not assume the role of head coach at Paris Saint-Germain, as talks between the two parties have reached an impasse. The highly regarded German manager, who has been without a position since his departure from Bayern Munich in March, is no longer under consideration for his first managerial role in France.
Previously seen as the frontrunner to lead the team at the esteemed Parc des Princes, Nagelsmann’s aspirations have been thwarted, compelling PSG to explore alternative options following the dismissal of Christophe Galtier after a solitary season at the helm.
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), the reigning Ligue 1 champions, are reportedly considering Luis Enrique, Thiago Motta, and Xabi Alonso as potential candidates following their decision to part ways with current head coach Christophe Galtier.
Despite winning the league title, PSG’s underwhelming performances in the Coupe de France and UEFA Champions League have led to the expected dismissal of Galtier, who took charge only last summer.
Former Real Madrid manager, Zinedine Zidane, has addressed the speculation surrounding his potential move to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). While remaining tight-lipped, Zidane’s statement has left fans curious about his next managerial step. The football world awaits further updates on the highly regarded coach’s future.
Zidane mentioned, “I miss it but physically…it will come. … I don’t know when but it will come. I have already said that when you knew the France team as a player and you become a coach, it’s just logical to think about it. But now is not the time.” (an article from sportskeeda.com reported)
Looking back at this season, most managers are under immense pressure more than ever. According to the Daily Mail, maintaining the managerial position of a club on the continent is relatively simpler when compared to those of the UK.
Since the start of this season, there were three major changes in managers for the Premier League clubs and there were two firings. Thomas Tuchel had to leave Chelsea and the managers of other major teams should be frightened for their positions.
Mauricio Pochettino, the former Tottenham manager is allegedly a good prospect for Nice, after Lucien Favre is being faced with criticism. Ligue 1 has not been too kind to Nice and Lucien Favre, and he has faced criticism for it.
Here are the top 5 out of work managers who had done an impressive job during their time of day managing major football clubs:
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
Since Ole Gunnar departed Manchester United last November, he has not been offered any new positions as a manager. Many still question his three seasons managing United, regardless of what is said of him, he did manage to get the team to the second place in the 2020-2021 season of the Premier League.
Unfortunately, the Europa League final is where Manchester United lost to Villarreal on penalties. His performance greatly reduced within the last few months of his position in the club and he couldn’t improve faster than what the owners of the club were expecting.
Frank de Boer
De Boer started his career as a footballer, earning 112 caps for the Netherlands. He also played for Barcelona and Ajax. He won four league titles with Ajax within his five seasons with the team. During this time he was at the height of his management career.
Sadly, this trend maintained until 2014, after that his managerial skills appeared to decline. He stayed as the manager for Inter Milan for a measly three months. He then had a short stint at Crystal Palace before losing his job as he lost all his league matches while managing them.
He has won a few US championships and still has an impressive resume, it is unclear when will he return to the Premier League but with the instability of clubs retaining their managers, we may see him returning one day.
3. Marcelo Bielsa
Marcelo, the Argentinian manager has been managing football clubs for three and a half decades. He had his time with Marseille and Athletic Bilbao. Back in 2004, he coached Argentina to win the Olympic gold medal.
During his work at Leeds United, football supporters then only realised his actual qualities in football and started to appreciate him more then. Unfortunately for him, his age is one of the factors on why he is still available. He’s currently 67 years old and it is unclear if he would be willing to take up another job anytime soon.
Thomas Tuchel
Thomas Tuchel, the greatest tragedy of the current Premier League season. He guided Chelsea to win the Champions League in the first few months of managing them. Many were shocked and upset that he was told to leave the Blues this month. He had also won the Super Cup with Chelsea.
Just after a few weeks in the current campaign, the new club owners decided to let him go. This was after Chelsea finished third in the league and also after their loss at the FA Cup against Liverpool. He is currently 49 years old and has an impressive background, it is sure that another fortunate club will snatch him up soon.
Zindine Zidane
Last but not least on this list, Zindine Zidane. He was a household name as a football player and has been an excellent manager. He has never been sacked from any clubs but has left the clubs under his own decisions and terms. It appears that he is currently waiting to lead France in the World Cup.
At only 50 years old, he has won the World Cup while being a footballer and is currently considering whether to lead Les Bleus. He should be expecting numerous offers from all the European clubs if the current World Cup manager, Didier Deschamps is still leading France in this current World Cup.
Kylian Mbappe to stay with Paris Saint-German, contract likely to be extended till 2025
Kylian Mbappe will play this season for Paris Saint-Germain, the club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has unequivocally confirmed in a thrilling turn of events.
The star forward was reinstated in the first-team squad and trained with the team on Sunday (August 13) after missing out on the preseason Asian tour and opening Ligue 1 fixture, a goalless draw with Lorient.
Club president Al-Khelaifi told the PSG players on Sunday morning, “Kylian is committed to PSG. Kylian is back.”
Later, PSG said on social media, “Following very constructive and positive discussions between Paris Saint-Germain and Kylian Mbappe before the PSG – Lorient game, the player has been reinstated into the first team training squad this morning,” an article from sky sports mentioned.
There is speculation that Kylian Mbappe’s contract will be extended till 2025.
Mbappe’s current deal expires in 2024.
PSG accepted a £258 million bid for the French international from Al Hilal last month, but Mbappe rejected the one-year move to Saudi Arabia.
However, the Brazilian international Neymar may move from Paris to Saudi Arabia.
PSG are currently negotiating Neymar’s transfer with Al Hilal.
Neymar, who was originally purchased for a record £200 million, might now bring in a large amount, helping PSG comply with financial fair play rules.
Neymar’s importance to the new coach Luis Enrique’s plan appears to have diminished as he approaches his 31st birthday, leading PSG to refocus their recruiting efforts on a younger, more competitive group of players.

Mbappe defends Zidane and claims Noel Le Grat is disrespectful
After Noel Le Grat, the head of the French Football Federation (FFF), indicated he would not pick up the phone if Zinedine Zidane called to discuss coaching the national team, Kylian Mbappé has spoken out in favour of Zidane.
After Didier Deschamps guided France to their second straight World Cup final, which they lost to Argentina on penalties in Qatar last month, the FFF announced the renewal of his contract on Saturday. Prior to Deschamps’ retirement, Zidane was the favourite to replace him.
Le Garet’s statement
When asked if France’s 1998 World Cup champion and cultural icon Zidane will now manage Brazil instead, Le Garet stated, “I don’t give a damn, he can go wherever he wants. I know very well that Zidane was always on the radar. He had a lot of supporters; some were waiting for Deschamps’s departure … But who can make serious reproaches to Deschamps? Nobody.
“He does what he wants; it’s none of my business. I’ve never met him, we’ve never considered parting with Didier. He can go where he wants, to a club … If Zidane tried to contact me? Certainly not, I wouldn’t even pick up the phone.”
Support for Zidane
Mbappe then publicly said on Twitter, “Zidane is France, we don’t disrespect the legend like that.” There were many others that also supported Mbappe, a number of French politicians got involved with the matter as they disagreed with what Le Garet had to say.
Amélie Oudéa-Castéra, who is the Minister of Sports for France stated, “Yet more out-of-touch comments and on top of that a shameful lack of respect, which hurts us all, towards a legend of football and sport.”
Fan reaction towards the whole ordeal
Mbappe wasn't impressed with French Football Federation President Noel Le Graet's comments about Zinedine Zidane 😮
ESPN tweeted about the whole ordeal and placed Mbappe’s tweet in a screenshot. Fans agreed with Mbappe and said that “the clown (referring to Le Garet) needs to be put in his place.”
Ironically, Ronaldo fans came into the picture out of pure randomness defending Ronaldo and Zidane by stating, “Another reason why Ronaldo is better than Messi. Ronaldo is considered the greatest ever footballer for his country, Portugal. Messi is still considered to be behind Maradona.”
The Ronaldo fan then added that Portugal has Cristiano Ronaldo, France has Zidane, Brazil has Pele and Argentina has Maradona. Jabs against Lionel Messi were made as Maradona is still regarded highly and his legacy linking to Argentina is still strong.
Furthermore, his fans claimed that Ronaldo has given him good influence, good as in he should stick up for those who are innocently attacked. Some speculate that Mbappe and Ronaldo are still close even though it has been years since he was in Paris Saint-Germain.
Fans also stated that Zidane and Mbappe are the two players solely responsible for France’s recent World Cups. This sentiment has gotten mixed reviews as some disagreed as they stated that Mbappe only helped with the World Cup in 2018, but did not single handedly win it.
Former Barcelona star Rivaldo has passionately urged Brazil to swiftly seal the deal and secure Carlo Ancelotti as their new head coach. Reports from AS reveal that the Selecao are highly interested in appointing Ancelotti as the long-term successor to Tite, who resigned following Brazil’s quarterfinal departure from the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
With Rivaldo’s endorsement and Ancelotti’s proven track record as a top-class manager, the Brazilian national team could potentially witness a revitalized era under the guidance of the highly respected and experienced Italian tactician.
The senior team is under the interim management of Ramon Menezes. Regarding Ancelotti’s likely selection to lead Brazil, Rivaldo said, “Ancelotti to Brazil? It will be historic. I hope he will be our first foreign coach, and we will be world champions with him in 2026 (World Cup at Mexico, Canada, and the USA).” an article from sportskeeda.com mentioned.
Rivaldo, the legendary Barcelona player from 1997 to 2002, helped Brazil secure their fifth World Cup title in 2002. Despite their decorated history, Brazil’s recent World Cup campaigns have been marred by four quarterfinal exits, with their most humiliating display occurring on home soil in 2014, finishing fourth. Before that, Brazil had only lost a World Cup match by more than two goals in the 1998 final against France.
Brazil has expressed a keen interest in appointing Carlo Ancelotti as their national team coach, despite the Italian manager having a year left on his Real Madrid contract. Neymar, the former Barcelona forward, has confirmed Brazil’s desire to bring Ancelotti on board. This unexpected development adds a tantalizing twist to the football world, as Ancelotti’s potential move to Brazil could bring a wealth of experience and strategic brilliance to the national team, setting the stage for an exciting chapter in international football.
The star player for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) spoke to BandSports;
“I know it’s the priority of the national team. The president wants to sign him, and, as players, we also want it to happen.
“For myself, for Vini, for Militão. We all know him. We know how amazing he is … to have him in the team would be very important. But there is nothing confirmed as of yet. We hope that he comes after his contract ends.” an article from sportskeeda.com reported.
The renowned Italian coach, Carlo Ancelotti, began his managerial career in 1995 at Reggiana. Since then, he has claimed every major title in club football but has yet to lead a national team. While he did serve as Italy’s assistant manager from 1992 to 1995, managing a national team remains an unexplored realm for this accomplished tactician.
