Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is reportedly in advanced talks with Julian Nagelsmann to become their next manager. Nagelsmann, who is regarded as one of the best young managers in world football, was also a target for Chelsea and Tottenham in recent weeks. However, it appears that his next move will be with the French champions. PSG is also said to be considering hiring Thierry Henry as Nagelsmann’s assistant. Henry has previously managed in Ligue 1, taking charge of Monaco for a disappointing 20 games where he won just four times. The 45-year-old also had a brief spell in charge of MLS club Montreal Impact and was Roberto Martinez’s assistant with the Belgium national team.
The move comes as Christophe Galtier is set to be sacked as PSG boss despite leading them to the Ligue 1 title. Galtier joined the long line of managers who have failed to deliver a much-coveted Champions League title, losing in the last-16. It is set to be all change at PSG this summer with both Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos leaving the club.
Among the other names linked with the job in the French capital, before Galtier has even been sacked, was current Roma boss Jose Mourinho. However, it appears that Nagelsmann is now the frontrunner for the job. Nagelsmann may be without superstars like Messi but is set to have Kylian Mbappe at his disposal.
