Gérard Prêcheur, the new manager of Paris Saint-Germain's women's team, answered questions from the media, as he talked about his aims with Paris and the squad that he has just started working with.

Coach, WHAT HAS IT BEEN LIKE FOR YOU TO JOIN Paris Saint-Germain?

'It's impossible to say 'no' to Paris Saint-Germain, and I was eager to join the club, so everything was in place for me to come to Paris. It's an exciting challenge, and it feels like I'm getting started on a new objective, starting from scratch in a way, which is interesting.'

HOW ARE THINGS GOING FOR THE SQUAD AND for THE PLAYERS THAT YOU HAVE AVAILABLE WHILST YOU WAIT FOR THE LAST FEW INTERNATIONALS TO COME BACK?

'I've felt a lot of enthusiasm from those that are here, as they want to get the season underway in a new environment and with the chance for a fresh start, too. It's a positive feeling, and we'll draw on that as we start working.'

DO YOU HAVE ANY AIMS IN MIND FOR THIS SEASON?

'When you join a club like Paris Saint-Germain, you do so with ambitions. There have been two trophies here in two years, and the club is on an upwards trajectory, which matches my mindset. I'm a competitor; I like winning. We have aims, and now, we'll start working on seeing how we can improve the squad.'

THERE WAS A CHANGE OF SPORTING DIRECTOR AND ASSISTANT SPORTING DIRECTOR IN the SUMMER...

'I have regular discussions with the sporting directors to see what we can do in the transfer window. Those discussions are going very well; there's a great feeling amongst the whole staff, and I have faith in every approach that they take.'
