Leonardo knew everything at PSG: life as a player, then as a manager who built a pharaonic sporting and economic project. His ties with Paris Saint-Germain can never be severed by his own admission, so much so that he is considering a return to a role other than sporting director. Enough to give ideas to Daniel Riolo.
At the end of the 2010/2011 season, the Paris Saint–Germain passed under the Qatari flag. Nasser Al–Khelaïfi became the president of PSG and has never left his post since, unlike the various coaches and sports directors who have succeeded one another. What if the boss of the Parisian club were to give up his place to the man who was his first sporting director?
“For the rest, it will never be finished because the links will always be there”
From 2011 to 2013 then from 2019 to 2022, Leonardo was the sports director of PSG. The former midfielder Paris Saint–Germain was without doubt the sports architect of the QSI project. And according to the words of the main interested party taken for Le Figarothe page with the Paris Saint–Germain is clearly not turned. “My adventure with Paris finished? Maybe, if we talk about the position of sports director. For the rest, it will never be finished because the links will always be there. In football or elsewhere. Afterwards, it's a matter of cycle, coming back a fourth time to PSG is perhaps a little too much, right? “.
“What if Nasser Al-Khelaïfi became a tennis teacher again. If only he gave way to Leo!”
A media release which had the merit of alerting Daniel Riolo. The editorialist RMC published a post on his account X through which he openly made it known that Leonardo would be the suitable candidate for the succession of Nasser Al–Khelaïfi at PSG. “Big time, Leonardo's interview in Le Figaro. Nothing crazy about it. But just the slightly crazy dream… What if Nasser Al-Khelaïfi became a tennis teacher again. If only he gave way to Leo! I know I know it's useless. But thinking about it did me good…”. Leonardo future president of Paris Saint–Germain ? Only the future will tell us…
