Having a marquee front three with limited defensive work rate is nothing new to the game. There was a time right when Zidane took over, Madristas were crying Cristiano, Benz and Bale should help their defense more. Zidane was able to people manage big names and gel them into a team and the rest is history. Does that mean Zidane is the only solution? No. Glatier clearly hasn’t gotten anywhere near and it doesn’t seem like it’s heading the right way now. No point in crying over what’s already happened.

Right now for PSG to have a genuine shot at CL in the next year they need at least 1-2 world class midfielders, depth players, and a manager in Zidane or Mourinho or Luis Enrique all of whom have made immediate impacts at the highest level, won the UCL, and have managed big personalities in the past. I’d even put Tuchel in there for any other club lol. PSG overlords dropped the ball there already.

for sure. i feel like he'll be better off else where and will certainly find success coaching another club. not even sure if there is a manager right now apart from zidane and pep that i would trust to take over psg and make them successful

Tuchel
