Thierry Henry persuaded by Julian Nagelsmann’s ahead of potential PSG appointment

By -
Ligue 1 champion, PSG Paris Saint-German are working on the appointment of Julian Nagelsmann as their new Head Coach with Christophe Galtier expected to leave in the coming days.


Former Bayern boss, Negalsmann had been heavily linked with Chelsea but choose to reject the offer from the Premier League side, while a move to Tottenham did not also materialize.

PSG, having struggled in all other competitions aside the league this season are not pleased with the services of Galtier and wants a change in management just a year after appointing the Frenchman.

35year old Nagelsmann has a wealth of managerial experience despite his young age and is open to taking up the challenge at PSG, but also wants former Arsenal striker, Thierry Henry to join him as assistance in Paris.

Henry, who in the first instance did not want to move PSG due to multiple reasons, some of which are personal is now convinced and is willing to team up with the former Leipzig boss in Paris.

The French legend had been reported not wanting to quit his punditry job, which he currently enjoys, to become an assistant — he still prefers a role as a manager having already served an assistant Manager to Roberto Martinez as Belgium national team bosses.

However, it appears Nagelsmann’s words melted his heart and the former Monaco boss has now changed his decision to give Paris a shot.

Henry does not have a good relationship with the PSG fans as well. Aside being a fan of the club's rivals, Henry also had a lot of dig at the club and fans for their treatment of his ex teammate, Lionel Messi.

Both the former Arsenal forward and the club's ultra will have some getting use to, but Henry will also have to live with the consequences, which will not be so good if he and Nagelsmann fail to meet the club's expectations, if in the end they are appointed as the new Sheriffs for the French giants.

Eddie Howe's Newcastle United falled to a sixth defeat in seven games as Nottingham Forest sealed a 3-1 comeback win in the Saint James' Park, adding to their Champions League and Carabao Cup elimination in December while they continue to drop down the Premier League table. Credits to the Englishman, however, he is not in an elite level. A project like Newcastle United's is in a stage where you say thank you very much to Eddie Howe, a bid him farewell. It was a miracle, what the former AFC Bournemouth boss has done in his just more than two years at the helm of affairs in Tyneside and after the club failed to make the statement upon their UEFA Champions League qualification, the time couldn't be more right. Eddie Howe took charge of Newcastle United when the club was deep down the bottom of the Premier League standing and helped them become the first-ever to avoid relegation having not won a single game up until Gameweek 14 in the competition's history.

Rasmus Hojlund has emerged as a real target for Manchester United as they look to secure a main goalscorer, who will lead the lines for the club on a long-term. Erik Ten Hag has opted for a different approach compared to previous managers of United in recent times, whom had all gone for players of different status. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Odion Ighalo, Edinson Cavani, Cristiano Ronaldo and Wout Weghorst are strikers the club has signed post Sir Alex Ferguson era, all of whom arrived at the club in their 30s. With Hojlund, United are looking to sign someone who just turned 20, though still has a lot more to learn to master the trade but at the same time, he has got the potentials to become one of the best around. The striker position has been a major issue for the club as many of those who had been signed has not lived up to expectations, while those who did ended up leaving due to their already ending careers. Cristiano Ronaldo and maybe Zlatan Ibrahimovic are the only two names who have m
