Antoine Kombouare on the verge of getting the sack with Claude Makelele in frame – Ligue 1 news
Growing reports in French media suggest that Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain’s under-fire manager Antoine Kombouare is on the verge of getting sacked from the Ile club.
The Kanak coach has long since been touted as the first managerial casualty in Ligue 1 this season following PSG’s woeful recent form in the domestic and European front.
In their last Ligue 1 encounter, Les Parisiens defeated lowly http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/AJ-Auxerre-c38247 3-2 and yet again, PSG players flattered to deceive in an unconvincing display.
Despite the win, Kombouare is certainly going to be shown the door despite sporting director http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Leonardo-c22056’s apparent backing of the under-pressure coach.
Reports now suggest that former captain Claude Makelele is in the frame of the coaching http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 at Parc des Princes.
Reports in JDD suggest that Leonardo had a long conversation with Claude Makelele regarding the serious situation at the club. Makelele initially insisted that he was not looking to replace Komboaure at Camp des Loges but it is now becoming more and more likely that the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 and Real Madrid man is on the verge of replacing Kombouare.
Makelele retired from professional football after the end of the 2010/2011 campaign but such is the respect of the Frenchman that he was offered to stay with the club and now, it seems that Makelele’s first coaching stint would be to get the best out of a PSG side that spent lavishly in the summer transfer window to be a dominant force in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 and Europe.
L’equipe suggests that Makelele has already discussed payers he wants to bring players of his own choice in the winter transfer window if he is to become the coach of the capital side. However, it has been suggested that Makelele is being seen interim base by the club’s owners.
With the seasons almost halfway through, PSG owners know that they might find it hard to find a high-profile coach as the season approaches its business end.
Leonardo might also be given an option to coach the noveau riche of European football but the Brazilian might refuse it.
