Paris Saint Germain have established themselves with authority in Ligue 1, but their semester has been signed for the eliminations in the Champions League and French Cup that fills the patience of a fan that has resulted in tolerance at the hands of the star squad. One of the main targets of the present is Mauricio Pochettino, who on Saturday confirmed his intention to continue in office. PSG prepared themselves to win everything, and after a historic investment, will seek to reduce costs when hiring a new technical director.

The French press ensures that Pochettino’s departure is on the right track, with a compensation of 15 million euros for the coach from the Santa Fe city of Murphy. President of PSG, Nasser Al-Khelaifihe will already have two great candidates to sit on the bench.
Just a few days ago, the name with the heaviest in the corridors of the Parisian club was the sa Zinedine Zidanebut the leadership will have another idea and now the targets will be Joachim Low Y Thiago Motta. Both technicians, with little experience with clubs, could command PSG at this new stage.
In the case of the German, he has been in freedom of action since June 2021, when he finished his cycle with the German National Team. The only offer for Löw would have come from Fenerbahce in Turkeyand would have denied it, but PSG’s ‘petrodollars’ could tempt the world champion coach in 2014.

Löw has not managed a club for almost two decades, since 2004 he has managed Austria Vienna. As for his titles, the German barely won a German Cup with the stuttgart and an Austrian Bundesliga from the hands of Wacker Innsbruck.
What happened since 2006, when Löw took the lead in the German National Team, is already known in history. After the process in which they accumulated second place in the 2008 Euro Cup and third place in the 2010 World Cup, Löw finally shouted champion in Brazil 2014in a game more than Argentines remember.

From that World Cup, the Germans began to lose popularity, and Löw was unable to lead the German team in a moment of transition. In this way, DT said goodbye after being eliminated by England in the round of 16 of Euro 2021. Since then he has not directed again..
The other great candidate to sit on the PSG bench is Thiago Mottawho in his stage as a player, had captured the hearts of Parisians by titles. Motta played seven seasons in the Paris Saint Germain shirt until 2018, where he got 19 titles.

After his retirement, Thiago Motta had a brief stint on the club’s youth team, where he managed PSG U-19 and caused reactions for the innovative schemes he used. “Who said we’re not playing 2-7-2? For me, the goalkeeper is one of seven in midfield”come to announce.
Motta defined himself as a coach with an offensive idea and only had 10 games at the helm Genoa from Italy (5 losses, 3 draws and 2 wins).
After that brief experience, the Italian arrived in 2021 at Spezia of Serie A. Far from showing a better version, Motta achieved an effectiveness of 32.44% and although he continues to lead the Italian team, he could seal his departure in the coming days.

In this way, Paris Saint Germain aims to add a “low cost” coach. The first thing the club should do is confirm Pochettino’s departure, to start talking about who will be his replacement.
