PSG target Nagelsmann and Arsenal legend Henry in line to be his assistant

Julian Nagelsmann is reportedly in advanced talks to become Paris Saint-Germain’s next manager, and could hire Thierry Henry as his assistant.

Christophe Galtier is set to be sacked as PSG boss despite leading them to the Ligue 1 title.

Galtier joined the long line of managers who have failed to deliver a much coveted Champions League title, losing in the last-16.

Now they look set to turn to former Bayern Munich boss Nagelsmann, according to L’Equipe.

The German has also been a target of Chelsea and Tottenham in recent weeks, but it appears his next move will be with the French champions.

Joining him in Paris also looks likely to be Arsenal and France legend Henry, who will become his assistant, the report adds.

Henry has previously managed in Ligue 1, taking charge of Monaco for a disappointing 20 games where he won just four times.

The 45-year-old also had a brief spell in charge of MLS club Montreal Impact, and was also Roberto Martinez’s assistant with the Belgium national team.

It is set to be all change at PSG this summer with both Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos leaving the club.

Among the other names linked with the job in the French capital, before Galtier has even been sacked, was current Roma boss Jose Mourinho.
