On Neymar’s future

“What manager wouldn’t want a player like Neymar in their squad?

“I have a very precise idea of what I expect from him. I haven’t met him yet, I will, but I want him to stay with us. It’s always better to have a player of that class with us.”

On taking the job

“Luis Campos’ presence at PSG was decisive, and then my exchanges with the president which made me accept the job as manager, with a lot of humility but with great determination.”

On squad management

“I’m going to speak with all the players. Managing such a squad is a privilege.

“We must have a common project, with no compromise. I’m not going to revolutionise the changing room, I know I’ll have everyone’s support. Once a player is not in the project, they will be set aside.”

On transfers

“I have spoken a lot with Luis Campos to convince players to join us. I have total confidence in the process.”

“I want to see intensity, rhythm, and the players winning the ball back quickly high up the pitch. I haven’t met the players yet but I’ve spoken with the management about what I want to do.

“A three-man defence has been spoken about a lot. I’m lucky to have incredible wing players but also those at the heart of play. But there is a tendency towards a three-man defence.”
