There are mixed emotions regarding the performance of manager Mauricio Pochettino. Some want to see a manager who has Paris Saint-Germain atop Ligue 1 and their UEFA Champions League group to stick until the end of the season before judging. 

Meanwhile, another believes that PSG’s luck of squeaking out positive results will dry up soon as the season proceeds. As a result, they want the capital club to make a change before they hit that reality.

One name that some want to see lead Les Parisiens is former Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane. Mundo Deportivo reported that the French tactician is open to managing Les Pairisens as it seems the France national team job won’t be opening until the FIFA World Cup next year. 

Foot Mercato took stock in this rumor and revealed that Zidane has no longer closed to the idea of ​​taking over the managerial role for PSG. 

There is currently a manager occupying the role in Mauricio Pochettino. The report states that the Argentine tactician does not feel threatened despite the squad’s subpar style of play, considering the team’s talent. 

But if the place becomes available, or if PSG can convince the former Real Madrid manager to come to the French capital, it’s a possibility. It will be interesting to see what occurs over the next few months and whether Pochettino can ride past the criticism.
