Paris Saint-Germain will not be appointing Julian Nagelsmann as their manager. Transfer window specialist Fabrizio Romano did confirm the reporting done by L’Equipe that the German will not be on PSG’s sidelines.
Romano notes that the decision was made as Nagelsmann and PSG didn’t agree on crucial details. The Italian journalist didn’t provide more information about what made both parties walk away from the table.

Nonetheless, PSG is now looking at another manager and Relevo’s Matteo Moretto reports that the leading candidate for the job is now former capital club midfielder Thiago Motta.

Meanwhile, L’Equipe reported on Friday too that Luis Enrique, Thiago Motta, or Xabi Alonso have a high chance of becoming the next PSG.

Enrique has a lot of experience coaching FC Barcelona and the Spain national team. The Spanish manager won the UEFA Champions League in 2014-15 with Barcelona, so he has that under his belt.
If PSG were to hire Alonso or Motta, they’d be a huge gamble considering their limited managerial experience.
Alonso did take over at Bayer Leverkusen and had the German side finish in a UEFA Europa League spot for next season. Meanwhile, Motta did finish in ninth place in Serie A with Bologna.
