Rumors are rife in FRANCE that Paris Saint-Germain
are still highly interested in making
either Arsene Wenger
or Jose Mourinho
their manager.
The French club’s present gaffer Laurent Blanc was put in
charge of the first team in the summer of 2013 following the departure of Carlo
Ancelotti to Real Madrid.
At the time it was widely reported that the 1998 world cup
winner was keeping the seat warm for Wenger, whose contract with Arsenal was
going to run out at the end of the 2013-14 season.
However, PSG’s
Ligue 1 and Coupe de la Ligue outstanding success last season combined with a
sail to the Champions League quarter-finals saw Blanc offered a new deal until June 2016. Though Arsene’s deal runs until
the summer of 2017
Authorities at Parc
des Princes are still open to the idea of approaching Wenger and making him the
new coach of the team according to
L'Equipe,
Following PSG’s 1-1 draw with Ajax in the Champions League Group F on Wednesday,
doubts have risen among the club’s officials over PSG, claims the French sports
daily.
Blanc’s alleged failure
to criticise the big names in the team and not play star striker Edison Cavani
alongside Zlatan Ibrahimovic are the main reasons cited by the PSG officials.
It has been reported that PSG have always wanted either Wenger
or current Chelsea boss, Jose Mourinho, and there have been rumours that they could
make an approach.
However it remains to be seen. While Mourinho seems to have
settled at Chelsea after marking his return to SW6 last summer, Wenger, on the
other hand looks unlikely to leave
Arsenal now, despite his disappointing start to the 2014-15 campaign.
Of course, in football anything is possible. If Chelsea goes
trophyless the second season in a row,
then club owner Roman Abramovich might as well let Mourinho go.
As for Wenger, the Frenchman is already being criticised by
many fans and pundits for not doing enough in the summer transfer window .
Will either Jose Mourinho or Arsene Wenger be in charge
of Paris Saint-Germain next season? Remains to be seen
