One more disappointment for Mauricio Pochettino, yet haloed with the title of champion of France with PSG recently.
The Argentinian coach is not on the list of coaches nominated for the title of best coach of the year at the UNFP trophies.
He becomes the first champion technician not to appear on the "short list" since Alain Perrin, crowned with Lyon, in 2008, according to The chain L'Equipe, co-broadcaster of the UNFP trophies.
Pochettino pays for the lack of consistency in his team and the sometimes boring game of a PSG often suspended from the exploits of Kylian Mbappé.
It is therefore Christophe Galtier (Nice), Bruno Genesio (Rennes), Antoine Kombouaré (Nantes), Julien Stéphan (Strasbourg), Jorge Sampaoli (Marseille) who will compete for honors at the end of the season ceremony.
Kyky star of the evening
Ceremony whose star should be Kylian Mbappé, who, like Galtier, is aiming for the hat-trick.
Both top scorer (22) and passer (15) in the current year, "Kyky" is a big favorite to be named player of the year, as in the last two editions.
His competitors are Wissam Ben Yedder (Monaco), Dimitri Payet (Marseille), Martin Terrier (Rennes) and Lucas Paqueta (Lyon).
Parisian superstars Lionel Messi and Neymar, whose seasons have been cut short by injuries, do not appear in the list.
The trophy presentation evening is scheduled for Sunday May 15, the day after the 37th and penultimate day of Ligue 1.
