Paris has locked up the Ligue 1 title four times ahead of schedule last week, but for clubs like Paris Saint-Germain who can win the league title, Pochettino's reversal in the Champions League by Real Madrid has doomed him to stay in Paris next.
Paris Saint-Germain will dismiss manager Pochettino, for which they will have to pay 15 million euros to their coaching staff. Pochettino said at a press conference: "I have one year left on my contract, so it's not a matter of wishing or not, it's a question of contract. Qatar hopes Zidane can succeed Pochettino as the new coach in Paris, but Zidane prefers to be the manager of the French national team.
In addition, Paris has also contacted Tottenham boss Antonio Antonio Conte, while news indicates that Tottenham president Levy is also persuading Pochettino to return to Tottenham. However, the latter currently avoid talking about their future. Could it be a manager-in-law swap? Since taking office, Conte has had a huge impact on Tottenham and has applied strict standards to all aspects of the club. Although the cooperation between the two sides has been relatively pleasant so far, Conte has made it clear that he will not be satisfied with competing for Champions League qualification, but want to compete for the trophy.
If left Tottenham, Conte is seen as a possible exchange of owners with Pochettino, but it remains to be seen whether this will really suit the duo. First of all, in terms of salary, Conte's current annual salary at Tottenham is about 17 million euros, and he himself hopes that this figure can be nearly doubled to 30 million euros per year. That would make him one of the world's highest paid managers like Simeone.
Everyone knows that Conte also has a huge coaching team, Conte also wants to have the right to choose, he wants Petrazzi to be the club's sporting director. In addition, Conte also asked for the right to decide on the transfer window in Paris. It feels like Conte is going to be the grand master of Paris, and if Conte is in charge of Paris, then Lukaku will be at the top of his reinforcement list. Conte has always admired Romelu Lukaku, the two have had a very successful partnership at Inter, and Lukaku is currently in a slump at Chelsea under Tuchel. With Icardi, Kylian Mbappe and even Neymar likely to leave, Lukaku could be an interesting option for Paris.
