Marco Simone technical director of PSG academies in the United Arab Emirates
“For the moment I am technical director of the Paris Saint-Germain academies in the United Arab Emirates. I go back and forth between Dubai and Monaco”confided Marco Simone, before detailing his role: “I am the coach of coaches (smile). There are 1,200 kids between Abu Dhabi and Dubai and around twenty educators. I have to organize the training weeks for each category under the supervision of PSG.

If Marco Simone is busy at the moment, he hopes to find a bench soon: “I miss coaching a lot! Last year I was coach at the Emirates, I signed for one season and there was no follow-up. I would like to have a professional team on my hands. I had offers in Europe and the Maghreb but I refused them”. And a return to France? “I have an opportunity but at the moment it’s blocked. Or ? I can’t say it! (laughs). I can only say that it’s in L1”he confided.
