Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Leonardo has hit out at his manager Thomas Tuchel, saying he did not appreciate his recent statements urging club management to make signings.
The Ligue 1 champions easily dispatched Angers 6-1 at Parc des Princes on Friday, as Neymar scored a pair of goals and Kylian Mbappe also got on the scoresheet.
Though PSG have now won four straight Ligue 1 matches after losing two in a row to start the season, all is not well in the French capital as Tuchel has been vocal about his demands for reinforcements.
Speaking after the match, Leonardo did not hold back in expressing his unhappiness with Tuchel, saying the German manager could face punishment for his continued public demands.
“We are looking for possibilities [in the transfer market],” Leonardo told reporters.
“I did not like the statement of the coach Tuchel. I don’t understand it and I did not like it. The club did not like it. We will see internally [about a punishment].
“If someone is not happy, we can talk, there is no problem. But If he decides to stay, he must decide to respect the choices of the sports management.
“We’re not here to go to trial … But we have to have the spirit of suffering for the club, the spirit of sacrifice. The important thing is the club. We didn’t like the way [that Tuchel spoke].”
