End of the soap opera Zidane to PSG, for now. The sports director of the Parisian team, Leonardo, has denied to AFP the rumors that placed the former Real Madrid coach as a substitute for Pochettino on the French giant’s bench. If yesterday I assured Le Parisien that PSG was advancing the negotiations with the Marseillais, the Brazilian has vanished this information at a stroke, ratifying Pochettino, confirming that he has not asked to leave nor has any club asked about his situation.
“I have a lot of respect for Zidane both as a coach and as a player, but I can assure you that there have been no contacts with him nor has any meeting taken place,” Leonardo stated emphatically when asked about the rumor that had circulated in recent hours linking to the French legend on the PSG bench.
Regarding Pochettino, he added: “We have no need nor do we want Pochettino to leave. Pochettino has not asked to leave PSG nor has any club contacted us to sign him.” Leonardo’s statements suggest that, except for a last-minute surprise, Pochettino will remain at PSG until the end of the season.
