PSG closer to Ligue 1 title – talks with Mourinho agent Mendes?

Roma coaches in focus

Without the suspended Lionel Messi, Paris Saint-Germain are a good deal closer to the next championship title. At the relegation candidates ESTAC Troyes, the leaders of the French Ligue 1 won 3-1 (1-0) on Sunday evening. With four games remaining, PSG are six points clear of pursuers RC Lens, who previously won the top game against Olympique Marseille 2-1.

Kylian Mbappé gave the visitors the lead in the 7th minute when Vitinha’s cross smacked the crossbar and the striker headed in from close range. It was his 24th goal of the season. Vitinha in the margin (59th) and Fabián Ruiz (86th) secured victory in the second half. Xavier Chavalerin’s goal to make it 1:2 (83rd) was not enough for Troyes, second from bottom.

World footballer Messi was missing from the Paris squad after being suspended for two weeks following an allegedly unscheduled trip to Saudi Arabia. He then apologized to his teammates. The 35-year-old Argentinian’s contract expires at the end of the season, and his departure from Paris is a done deal. It is also unclear who will be on the sidelines in the 2023/24 season.

RMC Sport: PSG interested in AS Roma coach José Mourinho

PSG seeks information from the broadcaster “RMC Sports” are said to be interested in star coach José Mourinho. Sports director Luís Campos should therefore be convinced that his Portuguese compatriot should be the best choice to lead the troubled capital club to success again with its planned personnel change.

Mourinho’s environment is said to have denied direct negotiations between the coach, who still has a contract with AS Roma until mid-2024. Instead, Campos is negotiating with Mourinho’s agent Jorge Mendes (Gestifute). The trainer is by no means averse, they say. Paris and a return to Real Madrid would appeal to him. A continuation of the tenure of Christophe Galtier, who has coached PSG since last summer, is now unlikely.
