PSG set to part with boss
Paris St Germain have revealed that manager Paul Le Guen will be leaving the club at the end of the season.
The former Rangers boss is set to be out of contract in the summer and PSG have confirmed that deal will not be renewed.
Le Guen's final game in charge of the club will therefore come on 30th May when Monaco visit Parc des Princes on the final day of the 2008/09 campaign.
A statement released by PSG on Tuesday read: "Paris St Germain announce today the club's decision not to renew, after three years of collaboration, the contract of its coach Paul Le Guen, which comes to an end on 30th June, 2009.
"The name of his successor will be made public in the next few weeks. Paul Le Guen will continue in his role until the end of his contract."
Speculation surrounding Le Guen's future had been mounting for some time, with it widely expected he would depart at the end of his current contract.
He held discussions with PSG officials on Sunday and was told that his influence over team affairs would be lessened.
Ambition
It is understood that Le Guen would have no say in the club's future structure, the appointment of a new assistant coach and would be forced to work on a limited transfer budget.
He was unwilling to accept those demands and the decision was taken to go separate ways.
The statement continued: "This decision has been made at this stage in the season because Paris St Germain are starting their preparations for next season.
"Paris St Germain would like to salute the dedication of Paul Le Guen and his work as coach for almost three years.
"Paul Le Guen has been able to steer the ship in difficult periods and give Paris St Germain back some ambition that allows them to figure today among the leading French clubs.
"This ambition will stay intact for the rest of the season and the seasons to come."
