PSG seeking the heir of Leonardo: Luis Figo is the first on the list

The place is vacant , the heavy legacy , the club cry . We need a big name to replace Leonardo at PSG and cover the spot of sporting director . There is an absolute first choice on the list of French : Luis Figo . The Portuguese , who finished his playing career with Inter Milan - where he later took his first steps as a director - would become the ball of Sheikh Al- Khelaifi . Competition fought for posting. And 'he the chosen one.

The sketch is on the table , worked in detail because the image is everything and the margin of error is zero. Two key features are dominant to earn the burden and the prestige of dressing PSG represent him , take care of its image , the technical area , be ds: curriculum to scream and overt experience on a global scale . Quality sewn on to Luis Figo . He is , according to " Le Parisien " , the favorite to succeed Leonardo, who has decided to abandon the French opulence after a disputed disqualification and a farewell with trumpet ( Cavani ) .

To cover the loss, fill the hole and give a strong image , with gold strokes , outside, Al- Khelaifi opened the hunt for the ds and Cupid threw the arrow interest on Portuguese. The next 41 years , Figo has become the object of desire. Knows football , having been one of the top performers at the international level ( and with a personal dashboard illuminated by a Champions League, eight shields between Spain and Italy and a Golden Ball ) , knows how to work off the pitch , behind the desk . The experience from overseas representative for Inter has enhanced capacity and talent. Even when it comes to making a simple stop or perform in a dry dribbling , but we need diplomacy , "chat" , presence .

Al- Khelaifi would have been bewitched by the curriculum of the Lusitanian . That would have undermined the scale of hierarchies compatriot Pedro Miguel Pauleta already " ambassador " of the PSG . His name is engraved in the history of Paris , which is the highest scorer of all time with 109 goals scored . A veritable institution. But it may not be enough numbers and memories. Figo , today , seems to have the stigmata of the predestined.
