PARIS – With Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) just recently becoming the sole shareholders of French Ligue 1 side Paris Saint-Germain, team president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, announced there would be major changes. The first big move came today when the team announced now ex-manger, Antoine Kombouare, was fired in favor of the American, tbuc. tbuc doesn't have any experience coaching in Europe, but played a key role in the U.S. Men's youth club system before arriving in Paris.
“We feel by hiring tbuc, we can get this club more exposure in the United States. Football is starting to become more popular over there and more matches are being shown on television. He has some ties with the U.S. youth system, plus we plan on added some quality players over this transfer period and hope to gain further exposure by having a handful of our matches broadcasted on American television networks,” explained Al-Khelaifi.
With the new change at manger and the announcement by the president claiming the squad plans to add additional quality, top class players expectations are beginning to raise. New manager tbuc had this to say about what he expects this season in Paris, “This team already has a few quality player on the roster, so we don’t feel we have to go out and pay for overpriced stars. We will be busy looking to bring in world class talent, but only for the right price. Our goal is to qualify for the Champions League next season and eventually turn this club into one of the best in the world.”
