Having helped nurture a number of talented youngsters at Strasbourg, Mathieu Le Scornet arrives at PSG with the reputation of a demanding and innovative trainer. The capital club, often criticized for the management of its young nuggets, is looking to strengthen its local identity and optimize the transition between training and the first team.
The Scornet will therefore have to tackle a two-fold challenge: to secure the loyalty of the best elements to come out of the center and to improve their integration into the professional squad. This strategic choice demonstrates PSG’s determination to rely on recognized expertise to build a sustainable project, at a time when national and European competition for young talent has never been so fierce.
