Relieved of his duties with the first team on the arrival of Mauricio Pochettino, Camara was encouraged by Tuchel to follow him to Chelsea.

An offer was made for Camara to be part of the first team staff and to continue his coaching education.

However, PSG refused to release him from his contract before handing him the U19 post.
