He was the one who brought Thiago Silva from AC Milan to PSG in 2012 to launch the Qataris project, he will also be the one who made him leave. While the Brazilian central defender has officially committed with Chelsea, Leonardo, the Parisian sports director, is for his part accused by the agent of O Monstro of behaving in a little cavalier manner with him. In an interview with L'Equipe on Monday, Paul Tonietto settled his accounts with the former Auriverde.
Asked about his player's desire to continue his adventure in France for at least one more season, the agent explained that Thiago Silva "no longer hoped [for an extension proposal] because Leonardo announced to him two months ago that 'he didn't want to prolong it. "But last Tuesday, Leonardo called Thiago and raised the possibility that there is one more year left, then confides Tonietto. Thiago had already agreed with Chelsea, he could not go back. When you make such an offer, you must be convinced of it. A sports director who tells a player he doesn't want him anymore, and two months later wants to extend him, how do you take that? ".
Emery takes one on the way
According to the man of confidence of the former Parisian captain, Thomas Tuchel would however have liked to see his player extend by one season. “The one who didn't want to was Leonardo, and he's the one who has the power. That's why, even though he hadn't signed with Chelsea, Thiago couldn't see how he could have accepted Leonardo's offer given what he had told him two months earlier. It would have been humiliating (…) Thiago was affected by the way he left PSG and by Leonardo's attitude. Very affected. "
But the PSG boss is not the only one to take a shot on sight. The former Spanish coach Unai Emery was also entitled to a small suit for the approaching winter: “PSG lost two years the day he recruited him. His problem is that he has trouble managing the stars. He's a good coach to play the Europa League, not the Champions League. The costume was too big for him (…) If there had been a coach of another caliber during these two years, PSG would have already won the C1. "
