Antoine Kombouare on the verge of getting the boot at Paris Saint-Germain – Ligue 1 news
Reports suggest that Ligue 1 side Paris Saint-Germain coach, Antoine Kombouare is walking on a tight line in terms of his status as the coach of the Parisian club with sporting director Leonardo still looking for someone else who could take PSG forward.
On the first day of the 2011/2012 Ligue 1 campaign, Les Parisiens suffered defeat at the hands of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Lorient-c39153 at the Parc des Princes even though PSG dominate proceedings right from the start and had a strong squad.
According to French sports daily L’Equipe, Leonardo might have already discussed consequences of a defeat in the second game of league against Stade Rennais with the club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
Les Parisiens play Stade Rennais this Saturday away from home and reports suggest that a defeat at the hands of Brittany club would spell curtains on Kombouare’s tenure as the coach of Paris Saint-Germain. Reports further suggest that Leonardo might have
already started his search for a new coach to replace the Frenchman.
A few days before the arrival of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Leonardo-c22056’s appointment as the sporting director of PSG, it was believed that Carlo Ancelotti might be made the new coach of the Parisian outfit as soon as the Brazilian arrives. However, Leonardo chose to stick with Kombouare
and considered giving him a chance.
However, it now seems that the new owners want quick result and are ready to bring in the former AC Milan manager to the Parc des Princes. The Italian tactician was sacked as the manager of English Premier League side http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 FC by the London club’s trigger
happy owner Roman Abramovich as the Blues failed to win the league and win the Champions League.
With so much pressure on Kombouare to deliver, it seems that the game against Stade Rennais would definitely be a vital encounter for the coach to prove his worth to the sporting director and the new owners that he can deliver the right results with the
talent at his disposal.
Though PSG lost their first match of the league, sacking Kombouare might not be a good thing to do so early in the season. Any new coach who comes in, will take some time in adjusting to the league and the team.
