Sports director of Paris Saint-Germain between 2011 and 2022, Leonardo was one of the architects of the PSG version QSI. The Brazilian took the club to another dimension.
Now, since his departure in the summer of 2022, he has followed the club from afar. During an interview with the newspaper Le Figaro,
the former sports director spoke about the club's new policy introduced since the arrival of Luis Enrique during the 2023-2024 season.
For him, the Parisian club has taken the right path even if it will take a long time to see real results. “ The project is different, with young people, you are building for the future. These are less glamorous moments, but very important. I was complicit in this idea and I always said that a team is not built around one person,” he admitted.
Before continuing: “It takes time and patience. The team is very competitive, even if for the LDC you are not going to say that PSG are favorites this year, but you are respected, with a coach who builds. The path is interesting. »
This Wednesday, the Rouge et Bleu face Atletico de Madrid as part of the 4th day of the Champions League. An important match for Luis Enrique's men who must take points with a view to direct qualification for the round of 16 of the competition.
