After his release from FC Bayern, Julian Nagelsmann was the hottest candidate for a coaching position at the top French club Paris Saint-Germain. But now the surprising turnaround: PSG and the 35-year-old could not seem to agree.
According to the French newspaper “L’Équipe”, Julian Nagelsmann will not work as coach of Paris Saint-Germain for the new season. After several weeks of negotiations, both sides decided not to cooperate, it is said. The decision was made on Friday evening.
According to the sports newspaper, PSG will now hold talks with a second, unspecified candidate. Curious: Officially, the actual coach Christophe Galtier has not yet been released from his duties. According to French media reports, his release has been certain for some time.
The 56-year-old would leave the Qatar club after just one season if sacked. Although Galtier won the eleventh French championship with PSG, they were “only” one point ahead of RC Lens.
After leaving FC Bayern: Nagelsmann looking for a job
The early exit from the cup and the renewed failure in the Champions League were also particularly painful. The star ensemble from the Seine had to give up in the round of 16 against FC Bayern, who were still coached by Nagelsmann at the time.
For Julian Nagelsmann, the search for a job at a top European club would continue for the time being.
After his surprising departure from FC Bayern at the end of March, he was associated with numerous clubs. However, other coaches ultimately took over the job at both Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur. He was also temporarily traded at Real Madrid, but successful coach Carlo Ancelotti will continue with the royal team.
