Paris Saint-Germainmay have made a number of stellar signings last summer, headlined by Lionel Messi‘s shocking arrival from Barcelona. But PSG have fallen short of expectations so far, and their coach seems to be in a hot seat.
While the signings of several big-name players looked likesomething amazing for the club, it seems to have also become a burden. Especially for Mauricio Pochettino, who has struggled to get so many superstarson the same page.
The Argentine managerhad previously gottenoff to a difficult start to life in Paris as hefailed to deliver the Ligue 1 trophy last term, and this campaign things aren’t going according to plan either. That’s why according to Daniel Riolo of RMC Sport, Zinedine Zidane will take over at Parc des Princesin June “at the least.”

Zidane has already been linked to the PSGjoba few months ago when Mauricio Pochettino was reportedly on the radar of Manchester United to replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. It’s important to note that Riolo was one of the first who reported that Messi wouldsign for Paris Saint-Germain in the summer, but it remains to be seen how this situation unfolds.
Pochettino is undercontract until 2023 and there’s still a lot to be played for this season. Not only PSG have time to turn up their game but they’re also in contention for the most important trophies at stake, although Riolo suggested that Zidane wouldtake over regardless of how PSG finish this season.
Should the report proves to be correct, the future could be bright for PSG. Zidane has already been successful when he had to manage a locker room full of superstars, winning 11 titles at Real Madrid, including three consecutive Champions League trophies.
