French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[terrorJR]

PSG have no manager at the moment, although they are aiming to land OGC Nice manager, Christophe Galtier which is their top target this summer. Paris Saint German will soon relieved Mauricio Pochettino off his duties and hoping to pair Compos and Galtier together. It will be good news for the club because their team have crucial problems with coaching in the past few months. The team needs a manager that can build and control the team, unlike Pochettino who's finding it difficult to control his squad.

Technically Mauricio Pochettino still the current manager of PSG but indeed after failed on champion league most people has speculate he will be sacked and the hottest news as the replacement of him is Zidane but seems he has refuse the offers from PSG owner because Zidane had ambition want to replace Deschamps and to trains France national team and regarding the name you mentioned above rumours is Christophe Galtier will be the next manager of PSG because the owner has impressed he can get France league trophy with Lille but indeed for France league he had good records but to get champion league trophy i highly doubt he can do it with PSG

It's true, but so far it's just an issue, there's been no official statement about Pochetino being sacked and there hasn't been any statement about coaching management at PSG.
It will be difficult when we continue to speculate about what will happen with the new coach, be it Zidane and the other coaches who are linked with PSG but Pochetino is still there too.

[Sirait]

But all still have a chance, maybe if they get Zidane as the new coach they will have more of an experienced coach playing in europe.

Many conditions must be met if want to continue such as full football management control and letting Leonardo go. Zidane is also confusing, he has offers from the country to manage the National team, that his dream since he was a player and he won't miss this great opportunity. So if the not an extraordinary case, Zidane will be the National coach, but if PSG gives all Zidane's requests, then anything change can happen, PSG chooses the right person for the dream in the Champions League.

if zidane chooses to coach the francis national team rather than PSG then it is the wisest choice because currently the francis national team is in a poor condition, even though there is benzema and mbappe in it.

I'm sure PSG will return to the NICE coach, even though they are still under a 2-year contract, but money is not a big problem for PSG because their target is the UCL trophy.

I have not heard rumors that the French management has offered Zidane to be the coach. If management is not interested in Zidane then how will Zidane be coached? We know the situation of France team is bad. Because there is no friendly relationship between the players of their team.
PSG needs an experienced coach. So they will continue to do their utmost to make Zidane the coach of the team. And since money is not a problem for them. So they can pay a lot of money to Zidane. But it remains to be seen what decision Zidane will make.

Zidane has indeed become the main target of PSG's head coach this season besides Nice Galtier, but this will be a dilemma for Zinedine Zidane himself considering he wants to lead the French national team which has been his dream since he was a player, this will boomerang for Zidane if he doesn't can take the right decision if one day he is not called up to the French national team instead he will not get a club like PSG that can fulfill all the wishes of the French player, moreover Zidane is projected by PSG to lead the Paris club to the UCL title which is their ambition. the club so far that has not been achieved since changing coaches

That kind of team does not matter which manager you have, their entire squad is a big circus with each star player having their own delegation of family/wives/kids. Not at all something people like Tuchel or Pochettino could easily handle. Half their time at least is to manage these egos and stars, look what it turned Gini Wijnaldum into, a hot dribbler penetrative powerful guy turned into a clown. Even Messi, he needs to get back home and not stay stuck in that crazy league with one team too good for everyone else.

I have exactly the same opinion because there is no point for any player who has the potential of doing something great to stay in this Farmers League because PSG is just doing basically nothing and farming the league one title. The players that are playing in PSG are better than that. But the money is so overwhelming from PSG that it is really hard to say no to it. This club cannot be the future for any player who aspires to be great one day. And the true nature of this club gets revealed when it plays in the Champions League.

I think that there is no way PSG are losing the championship to another team next season. I'm aware that Lille did this not much time ago but this is seen in many leagues but not many times at the same. PSG would change their manager most probably in this summer too and if they make a good choice they can really be like unstoppable not only in the league but also the Champions League. We would see another competition for the second position that's for sure.

No one can predict this right now because we all know anything is possible in the playground as we already have many times like in 2021 OSC Lille won by just one point and then next year they were not near to title even in the top seven. No one was sure about Real Madrid is going to win the Champions League but they did and won which is another shocking result in presence of PSG, Manchester City and Liverpool.

In French League, PSG is very strong and has the services of some extraordinary players but sadly they fail to do some good in the Champions League which is now their priority so with this in next season upset is also possible because Monaco and Marseille both are improving their quality and this can help them for giving good challenge to PSG for a domestic title.

Lyon and Lille both were very poor last season and Strasbourg, Rennes and Nice are good teams for challenging at the top.

I can only hope for Monaco and Marseille to have a heated competition with PSG for the championship. They seemed promising last season but PSG had a huge gap already and didn't have even a tiny problem on winning the championship. At least one of these two teams should improve their game significantly to fight against PSG next time. The Ligue 1 is getting boring as PSG have a high dominance. It isn't too much different from the Bundesliga for example.

PSG really need a new coach before the start of the new season because Pochettino can't lead the team to Champions League Glory. The Parisians needs to Lift the UEFEA in the coming season rather than the Ligue 1 title which they are always crowned every season. PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi will releived Pochettino of his duties and aimed for his top priority which is Nice Boss, Galtier. PSG is a big team and are extremely good with high class professional players.

Galtier is quite a competent coach, before coaching NICE, he already managed to make Lille get the Ligue 1 title, even last season NICE managed to finish in the top 3 and this is a pretty good achievement

PSG's squad is already very good, it's only a matter of how they meet a great coach who can make PSG an extraordinary team because the UCL trophy has been PSG's target for a long time

We can't doubt Galtier capacity as a coach who is quite ambitious and has a lot of experience in ligue 1, his success in bringing Lille to win league 1 among PSG domination so far certainly makes him worthy of appreciation as a great coach, to coaching a team like lille and nice who have always been being a competitor in ligue 1, of course I have no doubts about his eligibility, but to train a team as big as PSG?
I don't think he is worthy for now because PSG current target is bigger than from the target of the team he ever coached, PSG no longer makes the Super Cup France and Ligue 1 as their main targets, but PSG are now eyeing their first Champions League trophy and obviously it's not an easy job for a coach who doesn't have a lot of experience in European competitions, not wanting to underestimate Galtier but for European competitions in my opinion his experience may not be better than pochettino.

Even though the PSG squad is already very good, Yes role of the coach will always have an impact on the team, whether coach's achievements be able to bring this team to get trophy at UCL is not a certain, because maybe there will always be internal problems on the side of players and also coach. After all Zidane is the most suitable candidate for PSG, but I also have no doubts about Galtier.

[ShowOff]

PSG's only problem this season will be staying awake waiting for the really important games (Champions League)  Maybe Mbappe will try to make his stats look nice or Messi will try to restore his reputation as a goalscorer, but in general I'm sure PSG will suffer from a lack of motivation and strong opponents. Perhaps this will affect their performance in the Champions League.

PSG really need a great coach to achieve success in the Champions League because so far they have been supported by a number of top players such as Neymar, Messi and Mbappe. They have to start doing that and try to get out of their comfort zone as the dominant title winners in Ligue 1 over the last few seasons. So if Zidane wants to deal with them later, I'm sure PSG will have a good chance in the Champions League next season.

So far we know how PSG's ambitions for the Champions League are, but they are still weak enough against great opponents that they are still quite difficult to win the title. I believe that the Champions League title for a team like PSG at this time is not impossible, it's just a matter of timing and a good team performance in the right hands.

[Marvell1]

I'm saying Mauricio Pochettino was sacked. I think they're trying a new coach to win in the UCL next season. But does it work? i'm not sure at the moment. Although they have a lot of star players at this time, there is still something missing in the team. Messi's arrival doesn't seem to be enough to make PSG stronger in Europe. Although Neymar and Mbaape are there I'm not sure if they can make it to the finals next season. But all still have a chance, maybe if they get Zidane as the new coach they will have more of an experienced coach playing in europe.

Zidane is someone who will be able to impose authority over the players and the players will have to listen to him. I think that is the only chance with which PSG might be able to do better. Trust me they will not have any problems winning the league one title.

But I don't think they will be able to win the Champions League title which is the main target of PSG right now. The reason why Zidane is not going to work with PSG right now is that he does not want to jeopardize his reputation. PSG did not work with one of the best squads last year and there is no certainty that they are going to work under the new authority of Zidane.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Recently, there haven't been positive news about Zinedine Zidane to become PSG's new manager. Some rumours show that Zidane is thinking of waiting for the World Cup to finish to become the manager of France national team. He isn't thinking of accepting PSG's offer at the same time. If he really wants to manage a national team, then I can understand his decision about PSG. It would be too difficult to manage two teams at the same time for him. This isn't Football Manager in the end.  

[blackened515]

PSG are going to be the biggest favourite for the league championship once again of course. Because I don't see any other team that are as powerful as PSG now. PSG have a way better squad than all of the remaining teams in the league of course and this makes things too difficult for the others. Therefore I think that PSG are going to win the league championship again but maybe there could be a slight chance for us to see a good competition between them and a team. I hope that happens. 

PSG currently have the best squad in Ligue 1, Which I don't think any team in the League will be capable enough to withstand. Surely, they are probably the most favorite for the Ligue 1 title next season. Although, we are all expecting another club to compete with them for the trophy in order for us to witness an interesting season. However, I don't think the Ligue 1 title is PSG major aim.  They basically want to win the Champions League trophy, therefore they will focus more on their Champions League matches next season.

Well to be fair, it was a serious challenge in the first place for a guy like Poch. Brilliant tactically and showed what he could do with a limited squad (Spurs), to take them into Champions League final, to take them into top 4 repeatedly, with the spending and talent he had was criminal. And he thought maybe he could turn things around at PSG. But he never dealt with those kinds of stars man. Kane and Son, sure, even Bale before, but those were one or two stars and I would say not half as "glitzy" as the ones PSG has.

It's not so much about the farming it's about winning UCL but when there's a lot of non-football factors (wives girlfriends family delegations etc) it becomes less about how good you are as a coach but how you are as a true manager of life affairs lol

Basically they still need a little more time, if we only consider the star players then Real Madrid also has a lot of star players. But because Real Madrid have had a lot of success for a long time, compared to PSG they are just getting started. It's different if we consider players obtained from their respective academies then of course PSG does not have these criteria, but if we only consider star players then I think PSG will be able to have success in the Champions League in the future.

Real Madrid did not get Mbappe because of many supports for French President, Paris Mayor and together with official deal from PSG, he decided to stay in PSG.

This decison is made by sports, finance and politics too. Mbappe case is very special and unique. When a national President and City mayor had to involve to convince him to stay. Without politics, Mbappe would leave PSG and join Real Madrid. Anyway, he made decision and he will have 3 more seasons in PSG. Let's see what he will contribute for PSG and what he will achieve in next seasons.

Christophe Galtier will most likely be the new coach of paris saint germain. according to french media reports, an agreement between the ligue 1 champions and C. Galtier's current club ogc nice is imminent. according to "l'equipe," psg will pay Nice a transfer fee of around €10 million.
however, the deal will not be announced until the current coach Mauricio Pochettino has been sacked. negotiations are still underway with M. Pochettino about the severance pay.

It seems that what we have hoped for so far will not come true, many of us hope that PSG will make zidane a coach to face next season but it seems that zidane prefers to remain unemployed and wait for the call to be coach from the french national team rather than join PSG this season, conjecture of who the PSG coach seems to be is starting to emerge and Galtier is one of the strong candidates to replace Pochettino who reportedly has agreed to end his partnership with PSG, but the question now is: whether Galtier is indeed worthy to coach a team as big as PSG?

[Zlantann]

It seem the management of Paris Saint-Germain F.C. are impatient and desperately want to lift the Champions League. Mauricio Pochettino is not a bad coach in fact his performance was outstanding but the club is not patient to stick to the Argentine. That was how they sacked Thomas Tuchel and he went to Chelsea and won the Champions league. Christophe Galtier is not a bad coach considering his teams performance last season.The 55-year-old took Nice to fifth place and they played quality football. But I don't think Galtier is a better coach than Pochettino. PSG would just keep gambling until they find a coach that would deliver the Champions League. I would not also be surprise if Pochettino wins the Champions league in his future club.
