Paris Saint-Germain Announce Laurent Blanc’s Contract Extension
Paris, France – Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has officially confirmed the extension of Laurent Blanc’s contract for an additional year, keeping the French manager at the helm until June 2016. The announcement was made via the club’s official social media channels on May 8, 2014, following days of speculation.
This extension comes on the heels of a significant achievement for the Parisian club, having secured their second consecutive French league title just a day earlier. PSG clinched the 2013-2014 Ligue 1 title, further cementing Blanc’s legacy at the club.
With the 2014 title in hand, Laurent Blanc became the third French manager in history to win the Ligue 1 title twice with two different clubs. His first Ligue 1 triumph came in 2009 with Bordeaux, before he went on to replicate the feat with PSG, making his name as one of the most successful French coaches of his generation.
The contract extension is seen as a clear sign of PSG’s confidence in Blanc’s leadership, following an impressive run of domestic success. Under his stewardship, the club has continued to dominate French football while also making strides in European competitions.
With Blanc’s future now secured until 2016, the focus will shift to PSG’s continued pursuit of both domestic and continental glory in the seasons ahead.
