Mbappe left disappointed as Zidane not to succeed Pochettino

Before saying yes to renewing at PSG, Mbappe asked for two things. According to the latest information, he wanted to make sure that he would have Zidane as coach and that sporting director Leonardo would be succeeded by Luis Campos. 

PSG got down to work to keep Mbappe happy... and it seems like at least one of those requests will not come ture. 'Telefoot' says that Zidane is clear that he will not become the PSG boss, at least for now. 

Zidane has always been wanting to take over the reins as France coach and that is what he has in mind right now. His priority is to become the France boss after the World Cup in Qatar. 

Barring a surprise, it seems like Mbappe is going to have suffer his first disappointment since signing until 2025. 'AS' reports that the other options PSG have on the table are Low, Galtier, Roberto Martinez, Conte, Thiago Motta and Lopetegui.

However, 'RMC Sport' are not so sure. This media outlet says that Zidane has ended up speaking to the Emir of Qatar on his possible appointment. This source writes that Zidane has not said no to a possible approach. He wants to listen carefully to what they have to say from the Parc des Princes.

The French press are split and, now they know Mbappe's destination, all eyes have gone from the striker to the former Real Madrid coach. At the moment, Zidane is remaining silent.
