Original title: Congratulations to Paris, double happiness! Messi is ready to renew his contract, and the club's favorite manager is also expected to join
In the latest round of the league, Paris Saint-Germain lost to second-placed Lens and the lead fell to four points, which cast a shadow over Paris Saint-Germain's contention. However, Paris Saint-Germain had two good news after the loss. The first is that Messi is about to renew his contract with the club, and the other is that the manager Paris Saint-Germain has been thinking about is expected to coach the team.
According to media reports in The Mirror, Paris Saint-Germain believes the club will be Messi's last stop in Europe. It was previously reported that Barca had always wanted Messi to return, and Messi had refused to answer calls from negotiators close to his agent, Barca president Laporta.
At last year's Ballon d'Or, Barca president Laporta met with Messi, but Laporta did not get the response he wanted.
The media "Marca" also reported that Messi, who will turn 36 next summer, will renew his contract at the Parc des Princes. Messi's current contract could be extended for another year, and his time at the club runs until the summer of 2024.
Messi has contributed 12 goals and 14 assists for Paris Saint-Germain this season. He performed well. Messi remained in Paris. Not only can he help Paris Saint-Germain on the pitch, the commercial value of Paris Saint-Germain is also very clear.
Messi's contract extension is a good thing for Paris Saint-Germain. In addition, Paris also have good news, that is, the club manager Zidane is expected to coach the team. Previously, Paris Saint-Germain had repeatedly invited Zidane to coach the club, but Zidane had repeatedly rejected Paris Saint-Germain because he wanted to wait for Deschamps to leave and coach the French national team.

Now, that has changed.
French FA president Le Graet said in an interview that Zidane had not been contacted about the French team's coaching position and that he would not answer his calls. This aggressive remarks by Zidane have been criticized by many. French Sports Minister Mbappe and Real Madrid officials both condemned the remarks of the president of the French Football Federation.
Recently, French Football Association president Le Graet apologized to Zidane for his previous remarks and announced his resignation.
The French Football Federation issued an announcement approving LeGraët's resignation, but it also made it clear in this announcement that the contract of national team manager Deschamps will be extended until 2026, so that Zidane will not have the opportunity to coach France. In the short term. Zidane's loss of the opportunity to coach France was tantamount to giving Paris Saint-Germain a chance. Zidane has previously managed Real Madrid twice and will most likely not manage Real Madrid again, but Zidane has not seen many teams.
Paris Saint-Germain is clearly one of them. Paris Saint-Germain has Messi, Mbappe and Neymar three goalscorers, and the midfield has been strengthening, aiming for the Champions League, but this season under Galti, the Champions League results are not very good, so if Zidane is willing to coach Paris, then Paris will definitely change coaches immediately. Now that Zidane is no longer able to coach France, coaching Greater Paris is also a good option.
