Zinedine Zidane is leaving Paris Saint-Germain.
In any case, Nasser Al-Khelaifi has not yet established any direct contact with the French coach and is instead considering the Galtier track, as he explained in an interview with the daily Le Parisien.
The Qatari leader "adores" Zidane, a "fantastic player" and an "exceptional coach", but the capital club did not target him for his bench.
“We never spoke with him, neither directly nor indirectly”, Al-Khelaïfi cuts short, without ruling out that other personalities from Qatar have approached the former N.10 of the Blues: “When I say we, c is PSG.
I am the president of PSG and I have never discussed with him.

The end of sequins… And of Pochettino
The Parisian president assures that a turn is being taken by the club, eager to get rid of "the flashy, the bling-bling, it's the end of the glitter".
As a result, "we chose a coach who will be the best for what we want to put in place," said the Qatari leader, confirming discussions with current Nice coach Christophe Galtier.
“I hope that we will find an agreement quickly but I respect Nice and the president (Jean-Pierre) Rivère, everyone defends their interests”, he added.
In the interview, Al-Khelaïfi does not mention at any time the name of the current coach of PSG, the Argentinian Mauricio Pochettino, who arrived in January 2021 and who has one year of contract left.
