Paris Saint-Germain narrowly missed out on Championelle as they were piped to the title by Montpellier Herault
2011/2012 season turned out to be a massive one for Paris Saint-Germain. The club was sold to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 and one of the richest clubs in the world.
The new ambitious owners announced their arrival with the promise of investing over 100 million Euros in the mercato. The takeover turned PSG into genuine title contenders and the appointment of former AC Milan manager Leonardo, as the sporting director
of the club showed that how serious owners are in their pursuit to turn things around.
The appointment of Leonardo was soon followed by the Ligue 1 record signing of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Javier-Pastore-c18082 which was a clear indication that Les Parisiens are here for the long haul. Later, the ambitious club appointed Carlo Ancelotti, a Champions League winner as a
manager with AC Milan, as the coach of the first team.
After all those moves it was expected that PSG will win the Championelle. However, they fell short in the end and lost out on Ligue 1 title. Despite the setback, the future of Parc des Princes side looks bright. The new Qatari owners along with Leonardo
and Ancelotti are on a mission to make Paris Saint-Germain a major player, not only on domestic level but also on the international arena.
It is expected that the cash-laden capital club will once again invest heavily in transfer market as the current squad lack European experience. Carlo Ancelotti has claimed that the club will sign 3 to 4 players this summer.
