French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Velvet78]

It is interesting that Galtier is still seen as PSG manager on Transfermarkt. I wonder whether they are waiting on the official announcement from PSG side about it. I thought he was still the manager until coming across some news sources telling the situation. Nagelsmann is seen like the most powerful candidate for the position according to those sources.

But it looks like PSG haven't made up their mind yet. Luis Enrique and Jose Mourinho are the other candidates I have been hearing about. Luis Enrique also would be really nice I assume because he has a really successful history with Barcelona. Him and Mourinho would be my first choices rather than Nagelsmann comparing their careers.

[Litzki1990]

PSG seems to be very serious about reshuffling and streamlining their squad in the coming season, Neymar is very often injured, besides that his salary is also quite high so selling him is the wisest choice for PSG at this time so they don't lose ^{(so that Neymar doesn't transfer freely or continues to get a blind salary)}
Reportedly, Neymar's agents are approaching teams in the Arab League who may have an interest in buying Neymar, but so far no one has heard of dropping offers for Neymar, Neymar's future at PSG is increasingly uncertain.

After the poor end of last season things looking not good in PSG because now management is doing some good changes and trying to settle their budget as well which will give them better way of having things into their control Messi already gone Neymar is on sell and Mbappé saga is also on which mean if they bring few quality players which will help them for having better performance in Champions League much better than having stars into team which are not helpful in last few years.

But, if Mbappé also gone then surely this could be problem for them because they have no alternative for this which mean this club PSG will be having problems to have better results in French League as well hopefully we will have better news about this all in coming days, and they will be able to have better results in coming season as well in Champions League which is the biggest dream for them right now.

Yes, if Mbappe and Neymar leave then of course PSG's attack line will be weak next season. What's more, so far there are no strong rumors stating about the players PSG will recruit in the transfer market later. Because after all, Mbappe himself seems certain to leave and thus, many PSG star players will also leave. This of course will make the PSG squad next season not in good shape and of course, will have an impact on their performance as well.

Messi has already left PSG. It is almost certain that Neymar will leave PSG this season and Mbappe has a big chance to leave the club, that is, if these three big stars leave PSG, then PSG will become a small water from the big team of France League and it will be very difficult for them to win the league title next season. Talking about the new player, no news has been received from PSG so far. If Neymar and Mbappe leave, PSG may not bring in any players as replacements as there would be buzz in the transfer market thinking about their replacement but we don't see any such buzz.

If Mbappe can finish like no other player in the team can finish, PSG will fall behind in attack and much of the midfield.

[Pulsar77]

Obviously, we both know it. but one thing we forget, that at the start of the season they seem very convincing. unfortunately, their performance has decreased along with issues of problems in the locker room and media reports that always corner PSG. until the time comes for PSG to be hit by various problems, whether it's Mbappe, Neymar and even Messi at the end of the season. made worse, several core players suffered injuries which ultimately resulted in a decrease in performance.

Referring to what you said, I can understand if Galtier lacks high flying hours managing a club as big as Paris Saint-Germain. maybe also, what you say is true that Galtier doesn't have the experience to handle big stars yet. Besides that, there are many other factors based on my point of view. and I think, I often describe it in several posts.
regarding coaches, as far as I know for now, only Julian Nagelsmann is a strong candidate to become PSG coach. in fact, I'm pretty sure he will give it his all if he does eventually come to the Parc des Princes. in fact, I would agree even more if Nagelsmann overhauled the existing line-up of players. That way, he will be free with what he wants. by the way Jose Mourinho, last I read the rumours. that PSG are no longer interested in him after losing in the Europa League. well, I'm curious, which coach will handle PSG. so, let's wait.

We know they are going to hire a new coach but still, all we hear is just some names like Mourinho and Zidane and I think Zidane has much more chance to work in PSG for the next season.

If PSG have changed their mind about Mourinho then Nagelsmann might be the one to take over. People want to see Zidane managing PSG very much but I don't feel like this will happen. Because there isn't even a rumour I have heard of in the recent times. It looks like Zidane is still not keen on managing a team other than a national team he would like. If he signed for PSG now I would have nearly zero doubt left about PSG's future. Despite the solid players leaving the team one by one I would still believe in him to find a way.


By the way I have also heard about Luis Enrique rumour. If we compare him to Nagelsmann he has a more impressive career surely.

[OcTradism]

PSG will take risk again if they sign with Nagelsman because the coach is very young and in a club with many star players like PSG, he will have to deal with same similar problems like what he failed to cope with in Bayern Munich.

People want to see Zidane managing PSG very much but I don't feel like this will happen. Because there isn't even a rumour I have heard of in the recent times. It looks like Zidane is still not keen on managing a team other than a national team he would like. If he signed for PSG now I would have nearly zero doubt left about PSG's future. Despite the solid players leaving the team one by one I would still believe in him to find a way.

Zidane has never shown his interest to be a club coach after leaving Real Madrid. He aimed at the French national team coach position and mostly got it but some last minutes changes from Deschamps and Fédération Française de Football break that opportunity for Zidane. He is a person with good patience so he will not give up that plan and take a job in PSG.

By the way I have also heard about Luis Enrique rumour. If we compare him to Nagelsmann he has a more impressive career surely.

Luis Enrique is a better choice for PSG than Nagelsman and I like this idea which is a rumor now.

for Messi and Neymar it seems clear that they will leave PSG, but for Mbappe it seems that there are still rumors that don't yet know the clarity.
however if Mbappe does leave PSG then there will be no hope in the summer and perhaps this will give other teams like Marseille and Lens the opportunity to replace PSG when they are at the top of the French league.
but from the many rumors circulating, we can only speculate and I'm sure PSG will not let other teams compete with him and I'm sure PSG management will continue to be active in the transfer market to find a replacement for Messi. and Neymar.

[Docnaster]

I hear rumors about Louis Enrique becoming the new manager of Paris Saint-Germain.
This might be a pretty odd decision by the PSG owners. If you ask me, Enrique is a pretty overrated coach. He was very successful in Barcelona 8 years ago mostly because of the MSN trio and because Pep Guardiola left an almost perfect team. Enrique failed miserably as a coach of the Spanish national team and I don't think that he will be successful leading a club outside Spain. He probably doesn't know English or French. Anyway, let's wait and see if the rumors will become truth.

I haven't seen any news about it. When we examine his career, we see that he is a coach who has always worked with good teams and won big trophies. I remember the work he did when he was in Barcelona, of course the team's squad was very good and I don't know if it would be correct to call Enrique the person behind the success.
It is a fact that he has not been very successful with the Spanish national team, but perhaps he will be successful in PSG

I'm yet to see any new that suggests that Paris Saint Germaine wants to make Luis Enrique their manager. Paris Saint Germaine's current manager isn't tactically fit enough to manage a big club like PSG.
However, I don't think Luis Enrique will be a better replacement despite impressive achievement with Barcelona when he was their manager. PSG must look beyond success in France and work on succeeding  in Europe and that's why they should go for a manager that has a good record and that can achieve a lot with the club

Apart from the new coach with a better record for PSG next season, PSG themselves also have to get some good players to support their performance next season so that PSG can compete quite well in a bigger competition like the UCL. So that PSG is not only good in Ligue1 in every season, but PSG also needs to surpass other teams in the UCL starting next season so that they are still a team to be reckoned with by their opponents in the UCL and I think it is not a very easy task for PSG from now on.

Will PSG keep Galtier until his contract expires? Even though in reality Galtier couldn't unite players properly, so of course maintaining Galtier until the end of next season might have a big risk as well. But regarding the names of the replacements you mentioned, I personally would prefer to see Mourinho become the head coach of PSG, because I think with Mourinho's attitude like that, it looks like Mourinho could be the right coach for PSG.

In order for PSG to be successful in the UEFA Champions League they will need to overcome a huge obstacle. While finding a new coach with a strong record is necessary PSG should also focus on adding excellent players to their roster. This calls for making targeted additions that can improve the performance of the current squad and position them to compete at the top level. PSG must find someone with not only extraordinary potential but also the tenacity and resiliency needed for European championships. In order to successfully negotiate the difficult hurdles posed by top tier opponents it will also be essential to cultivate a strong team spirit and cohesive playing style. The path ahead for PSG is undoubtedly difficult but with thorough preparation shrewd acquisitions and a shared dedication to perfection they have the potential to become a force to be reckoned with in the UEFA Champions League going beyond their dominance in Ligue 1.

By the way I have also heard about Luis Enrique rumour. If we compare him to Nagelsmann he has a more impressive career surely.

There is no clear agreement between PSG and Julian Nagelsmann, we don't even know the reason for Nagelsmann's cancellation of training PSG. but what is certain, the joint decision was made by Nagelsmann and PSG because they did not agree on important details. that means, Nagelsmann is no longer PSG's top priority. regarding Zidane, previously he had conveyed through his side that no agreement had been made whatsoever, Zidane was not at all interested in becoming a PSG coach.

Well, the unique thing is, Mourinho's name is still involved with PSG. even though in the tweets of Fabrizio Romano or other news media, they did not even mention Jose Mourinho's name "after he failed to win the Europa League trophy".
Now, the latest rumors report. Paris Saint-Germain are in advanced talks to appoint Luis Enrique as the new coach - according to L'Equipe. PSG have been more cautious after the Nagelsmann deal fell through but Luis Enrique has come to terms with it. the talk now is about the staff and the 'no momentar' clause from Luis Enrique's side, as Fabrizio Romano quotes. very interesting, we will see how it develops and if these rumors are true. if so, there's nothing wrong with bringing Enrique to the Parc de Princes. but to be honest, ideally I prefer if the PSG squad is under Julian Nagelsmann IMO. at least, can start PSG with lots of young talents. even so, we'll see further developments.

Louis Enrique to join PSG is likely to be rumoured. But if this news is true then it is a piece of big news for PSG fans. PSG's squad has been strong in the last few seasons. But their coach was not experienced. This is why despite having a strong squad, PSG's performance was erratic due to poor match strategy. Louis Enrique is a very experienced coach. And the important thing is that PSG is a rich club. And so Louis Enrique can provide enough funds to add talented players to the PSG squad. PSG's overall gameplay will be more organized next season if Louis Enrique is PSG's coach.

Galtier was considered a failure and Paris Saint Germain's management was under a lot of pressure to replace Galtier with a new coach. Yes indeed, the failure was seen after he failed to build good chemistry between the players which in the end made them messy. I consider their success in Ligue 1 and becoming champions, because there is so little time left that their rivals are running out of matches to move them up the table.

Now that Paris Saint Germain haven't decided whether they will stay with Galtier next season or replace him with a new coach, maybe Paris Saint Germain needs time to consider all that.

If he signed for PSG now I would have nearly zero doubt left about PSG's future. Despite the solid players leaving the team one by one I would still believe in him to find a way.

I think Zidane is not something that is just "fan favorite" type of deal, it's literally the best option they will ever have and that's why people want to see him. Remember, this is the dude that won UCL 3 times in a row, who else can say that they did something like that, it's a singular achievement that is unique in any angle.

This is why PSG being managed by Zidane is not just a want, but also a need. If they can somehow get him, then they are going to be getting everything they will ever need. On the other hand, I agree that it's not going to happen and I believe Nagelsmann would be the only one left for them to hire but that's not going to be enough if you ask me. They aim at being one of the best clubs in the world, and in order to have that you need to have one of the best managers in the world.

What I know so far is that PSG are in advanced talks over a contract with Enrique at the moment and indeed this came about due to a refusal from Nagelsmann if I digest correctly what Fabrizio said in his tweet a few hours ago.
Enrique I won't say he's a bad coach because indeed he is also one of the coaches who has good experience for a big club but indeed with PSG now will his ideology be conveyed? it should be realized that even though PSG lost Messi this time the ideology is still the same and Mbappe still has the same authority as before
Now we just have to wait to see how this goes but indeed when it comes to comparisons looking at Galtier and Enique of course I have more to say about Enrique than Galtier.

There is no way Zidane is going to manage PSG knowing that he is probably not going to find huge success. If he is actually going to take a managerial job, I believe it is going to be in Real Madrid again or probably any other team in English Premier League. He's not going to go to some club which basically does not have any competition in the league itself.

Nagelsmann can be a good choice for PSG. But again at this moment, managing PSG is not easy because the expectation is to win the Champions League title, which is obviously the hardest trophy in the club competition to win. But it can also be a fan experience for a new coach because he is going to have access to a huge amount of money. But he will have to show some success.

I think it should be another coach. The first name that comes to mind for me is Jose Mourinho. He had success even with limited opportunities in Rome and won the conference league cup, while losing in the final at the UEL this season. I am sure that he will have successful matches in Paris SG. I hope they convince him and we can follow him as coach at the beginning of Paris SG.

Mourinho is unlikely to go to PSG, he is preparing Roma by making several player sales and also wants to bring in new players. Enrique is indeed the strongest rumor because rumors have been that negotiations have been carried out and all that remains is to wait for an agreement on both sides. Previously there was also news regarding PSG wanting Arteta to go to France. but it looks like it's just a rumor.

[Slow death]

I think it should be another coach. The first name that comes to mind for me is Jose Mourinho.

mourinho will not go to psg next season and the reason is very simple: at psg, players like neymar and mbappe are headaches for coaches, the first case is that of neymar who lacks discipline, has bad behavior and does not played nothing during the whole season he is injured, so any good coach will avoid PSG while neymar is at psg, the second case is that of mbappe who due to his great talent and the dependence that the team has on him and the fact that he is french and with great influence in the national team of france it becomes very difficult for a great coach to give orders to mbappe

that's why great coaches like zidade and mourinho prefer to train teams like roma and there's a rumor that says that zidane prefers to train juventus than psg, and they're right, neymar and mbappe aren't the bosses and other players are also not 100% obedient and also frankly PSG fans have shown hostile behavior when the team loses, that's why messi left the team, that was obvious. although the press and nobody say it, but it was too obvious that the bad behavior of psg fans made messi leave the team.

You don't win the champions league quickly, city coach took many years organizing city to win the european champions league, and PSG managers and fans want results immediately, they think that a new coach in one season will already win the league of the champions, this is not possible

Previously there was also news regarding PSG wanting Arteta to go to France. but it looks like it's just a rumor.

Luis Enrique will become PSG's new coach to replace Christophe Galtier, at least that's how the news headlines spread in the media. Perhaps these rumors are justified and PSG have reached some agreement with Luis Enrique, but there has been no official announcement on the situation so far.

Luis Enrique is a successful coach with Barcelona during his tenure of several seasons. At least he has won 9 titles for Barcelona including 1 Champions League title. His playing philosophy is almost the same as Pep Guardiola or some other Barcelona coaches, so PSG can expect him to win some titles. But for the Champions League title, Luis Enrique might find it difficult to do so with PSG if it is not supported by some of star players.

Former Barcelona and Spain national team head coach Luis Henrique rumor become PSG manager for next season, after sacking Christophe Galtier last three weeks ago PSG still not announce yet who filled position as manager for next season. Regarding from Fabrizio Rumano updated, Julian Nagelsmann have removed as PSG manager candidate for next season and new close rumor with Luis Henrique. Inside has another rumor with Jose Mourinho will be PSG manager but seems he looks happy with AS Roma. Both close candidate become PSG manager for next season between Luis Henrique and Jose Mourinho has good reputation as champion league winner, both team has won UCL tittle and its reason most expected by PSG for winning champion league next season.
