It has been officially confirmed that Leonardo is leaving his role as Sporting Director at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). The club released a statement expressing regret over Leonardo’s decision but also acknowledging and respecting it. PSG management thanked Leonardo for his remarkable work in building the club into a leading force in European football and wished him continued success in his career.
Leonardo’s departure had been anticipated, especially considering his successful partnership with Carlo Ancelotti. However, the dynamics changed when Laurent Blanc took over, leading to reported difficulties in their working relationship.
This development comes at a challenging time for PSG, as they recently suffered a defeat against a modest Austrian club in a preseason match under Laurent Blanc’s management. Additionally, there are growing concerns about retaining star player Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The competition from Monaco, which has made significant high-profile signings exceeding 150 million euros, adds to the pressure on PSG.
Fans of PSG are expressing concern about the current situation and the potential departure of key players. The club will need to navigate these challenges effectively to maintain its competitive position in French and European football.
