I return to the club today with a lot of ambition and humility, and am eager to work with some of the world’s most talented players. This team has fantastic potential and my staff and I will do everything we can to get the best for Paris Saint-Germain in all competitions.

We will also do our utmost to give our team the combative and attacking playing identity that Parisian fans have always loved.”
