PARIS, June 21, 2022 (BSS/AFP) - Paris Saint-Germain denied reports on Monday
that Nice coach Christophe Galtier will be named the Parisian club's new
coach.

Newspaper L'Equipe and radio station FranceInfo claimed the Frenchman had
agreed to replace Mauricio Pochettino at Parc de Princes.

A source close to the club told AFP later that "numerous discussions are
underway", despite the reports.

Argentinian Pochettino, who was appointed in January last year and led the
club to the Ligue 1 title in the season just ended, has another 12 months
remaining on his contract.

French newspaper have reported however that Pochettino and the club to come
to an agreement that would see the Argentine leave the French capital.

Galtier's current employers were unavailable for comment.

If he does make the move to Paris, Galtier would reunite with Louis Campos,
PSG's recently appointed football advisor.

Earlier this month, French press linked former Real Madrid boss Zinedine
Zidane with the position, with PSG's Qatari owners desperate to win the
Champions League.

France World Cup winner Kylian Mbappe signed a new deal with the Parisians
last month, choosing against joining the Spanish giants.

The new French top-flight season begins on the weekend of August 6-7.

A week before that, champions PSG will play French Cup winners Nantes in the
Trophee des Champions, the traditional curtain-raiser to the French season,
in Tel-Aviv, Israel.
