Campos appointed PSG football advisor

Paris Saint-Germain have appointed Luis Campos as their new football advisor.

The Ligue 1 champions on Friday confirmed the arrival of Campos, who made a big impact as sporting director at Monaco and Lille.

There has been no official announcement of Leonardo’s supposed PSG exit, but the appointment of Campos all but confirms the end of the Brazilian sporting director’s time in the French capital.

PSG stated that Portuguese Campos will focus on “performance, recruitment, and organisational” responsibilities with the Parisian giants.

“I am delighted to be joining Paris Saint-Germain, which I consider is the most ambitious and exciting club in world football,” Campos said. 

“I believe strongly in and share the vision of the club and I cannot wait to get started to further unleash the great potential of this exceptional club.”

Zinedine Zidane continues to be linked with the hotseat at the Parc des Princes.
