After the renewal of Mbappé: Mauricio Pochettino and Leonardo will leave PSG

PSG’s dream, since the arrival of the owners from Qatar, is to win the Champions League. They have tried several times, but failed. Then, after being eliminated against Real Madrid in the round of 16 this season, the high command began to design a plan to take the ‘Orejona’ to France. The first thing: retain Kylian Mbappé. It is already done, although only the signature is missing. The next? Make a revolution on all levels.

Thus, the newspaper Le Parisien revealed that Mauricio Pochettino, current coach, and Leonardo, current sports director, are running out of time. The cited media indicated that the owners and president Nasser Al-Khelaifi lost confidence in the aforementioned characters. For this reason, both are not part of the plans that ‘Les Bleus’ are preparing.

The Argentine DT has a contract until mid-2023, but has been questioned throughout his stay at the Parque de los Príncipes. Not even the conquest of Ligue 1 will save the former Tottenham, because his role in managing the locker room with stars such as Lionel Messi, Neymar and Mbappé was not up to par.

Meanwhile, the French newspaper revealed a detail about Leonardo’s case. The Brazilian met with Kylian after the defeats against Real Madrid with the intention of convincing him. However, the answer was negative. In this way, Al-Khelaifi went into action to do the job of sports director and, after several months, was able to convince the environment of the Bondy-born.

Mbappe’s new role

To renew the contract (it will be three seasons until 2025), the world champion in 2018 demanded a winning project from Paris Saint Germain. Everything indicates, according to information from Le Parisien, that the owners are already planning the first radical changes. Likewise, the footballer must become one of the references in the locker room. Even with the presence of Lionel Messi and Neymar in the squad.

Moreover, Mbappé can get ready to take over the captain’s belt with the new coach and be the new one in charge of executing penalties. In this way, Kylian will show what is the new status that has been granted to him from Qatar.
