Leonardo was in his second stint as sporting director for the Parisians. He previously worked there between 2011 and 2013, before returning to the French capital in 2019. As a player, the Brazilian played for PSG in the 1996-97 season.
Leonardo pulled a stunt last year by bringing Lionel Messi to the Parc des Princes, but last season did not go as expected. PSG took the league title in France, but again ran into an early elimination in the Champions League. This time, Real Madrid was the culprit in the round of 16, after an unlikely remontada.
In addition, there was the open flirtation between the Royal and Mbappe, who initially did not want to extend his contract in Paris and seemed to be on his way to Madrid. Ultimately, the French international turns his cart and signed up until mid-2025.
Luis Campos should replace Leonardo. The Portuguese was previously successful at AS Monaco and Lille and is a good acquaintance of Mbappé.
