Luís Campos writing book about his time at PSG
As revealed by RMC Sport show After Foot, Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Luís Campos is writing a book that will include anecdotes of his last three years at the Ligue 1 side.

The book, written by Campos himself, will be about his time with PSG, which began back in 2022. The former AS Monaco and Lille OSC sporting director has instilled a new philosophy at the club, which has entailed moving away from the big-name stars. Since his arrival, there has been more of a focus on homegrown talents in France more generally, as well as those coming through the academy.
However, there have still been some big-money arrivals from abroad, notably Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who arrived from Napoli in January, and João Neves, who arrived in the summer. During his time in Paris, Les Parisiens have been dominant on the domestic scene, recently wrapping up their fourth consecutive Ligue 1 title, whilst they are also on the verge of reaching the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League in back-to-back seasons.
The news of Campos writing a book coincides with questions surrounding his future at PSG. His contract with the club expires at the end of the season. Talks over a renewal are ongoing, L'Équipe understands, however, as reported by RMC Sport, there is yet to be a breakthrough in those talks.

Pep Guardiola singles out Manchester City star for praise after Juventus drubbing

Erling Haaland was at the receiving end of some special praise from manager Pep Guardiola after netting his 300th career goal in Manchester City's 5-2 thrashing of Juventus in the FIFA Club World Cup. City finished their group-stage campaign in style as goals from Jeremy Doku, Phil Foden, Erling Haaland and Savinho helped Guardiola's men take revenge on the Old Lady, who got the better of the Blues in the UEFA Champions League group-stage last term. Advertisement Manchester City seem to have their mojo back since arriving in the United States after a disappointing and uncharacteristically trophyless season, which saw the Blues finish third in the Premier League, exit the UEFA Champions League at the Round of 16 stage and lose the FA Cup final to Crystal Palace. However, the ship seems to have turned and the course is now being led by newly-appointed director of football Hugo Viana, who has spearheaded City's transfer business this summer since taking over from Txiki Begiristain. City have secured the arrival(s) of Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Ait-Nouri, Marcus Bettinelli and Rayan Cherki in June, laying down an early marker to signify their intent to challenge for all trophies next term as they plan for life beyond Kevin De Bruyne. De Bruyne was not given a new contract as he approached the closing months of his most recent deal at the Etihad Stadium, with the 34-year-old joining Napoli on a free transfer after agreeing a two-year deal with the recently-crowned Serie A champions. Advertisement Guardiola has been given a new lease of life with a quartet of new signings as well as a major shuffle in his coaching staff, with Pepijn Lijnders and James French joining in as assistant and set-piece coaches following the departures of Juanma Lillo, Carlos Vicens and Inigo Dominguez. Manchester City have enjoyed a perfect run in the Club World Cup so far and have progressed to the Round of 16 after topping their group, where they will face Al-Hilal as they seek to go all the way and secure a much-needed piece of silverware to kick off the 2025-26 campaign. Haaland was in amongst the goals against Juventus as the Norway international latched onto a Matheus Nunes cross and tapped the ball into an empty net to grab the 300th goal of his career – a remarkable feat for a 24-year-old forward playing in the best league in world football. Launching praise on his talisman after the midweek rout of Juventus, Guardiola said: 'All I can say is congratulations, scoring 300 goals at 24 years old, this is quite good right? Advertisement 'Hopefully he (Haaland) can do it, this manager now, his manager was an incredible football player. You are too young, you didn't see me, but I scored 11 in 11 years, imagine that situation! 'I admire a lot the good strikers. I'm so happy for Erling (Haaland), for his goal again and being involved in the short spaces. It was really good.'

Nantes captain Pedro Chirivella joins Panathinaikos

Nantes have announced that club captain Pedro Chirivella (28) has joined Panathinaikos. The Spanish midfielder arrived in Ligue 1 five years ago upon the expiry of his Liverpool contract. The Valencia CF youth product has since been elected captain and has been a key member in Les Canaris' midfield and was a part of the club's Coupe de France triumph back in 2022. Chirivella was to enter his final contract year with Nantes. Eventually, he would pursue his career in Greece. 'An exemplary captain, Pedro always wore our colors with pride and determination. A respected leader both on and off the pitch, he left his mark on the history of FC Nantes', added the club in a statement. The Ligue 1 side reportedly agreed on a €2 million transfer fee with Panathinaikos. GFFN | Bastien Cheval

Hopping Mad: Club World Cup Players Getting a Bad Bounce

Hopping Mad: Club World Cup Players Getting a Bad Bounce originally appeared on Athlon Sports. FIFA's Club World Cup pitches are bouncing players into a fury, with surfaces so shoddy they're more suited for rabbits than world-class footballers. Jude Bellingham blasted the turf, saying, 'The ball barely bounces'. With the 2026 World Cup looming, can FIFA fix this pitch pickle? Advertisement Real Madrid's Bellingham didn't mince words, calling the pitches 'tough on the knees' and urging FIFA to act. PSG's Luis Enrique hopped on the complaint train, joking, 'The ball looked more like a rabbit jumping'. Players are leaping over divots like bunnies dodging a fox. 'It holds up the ball,' Bellingham groaned, noting the dry, patchy grass. Even FIFA's year-long grass studies haven't saved these fields from player scorn. Next: Two GOATs at the next World Cup? Are Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo Ageless? Weather isn't helping the pitch plight. 'They watered it, but ten minutes later it was bone dry,' a groundskeeper admitted to Scorching June heat evaporates moisture faster than a SpaceX rocket during launch, leaving surfaces cracked and unforgiving. Advertisement Prize money, reportedly $50 million for the winner, fuels FIFA's coffers according to Sky Sports. Yet, players wonder why funds aren't funneled into fields. 'It's a money grab,' one anonymous star quipped, dodging FIFA's wrath like a nimble hare. What a Messi these pitches are! - The Aptly Named Hard Rock StadiumPhoto by Rodolfo Buhrer/SportsBellingham's plea for better pitches echoes across the tournament. 'It's important to protect players,' he stressed, eyeing the World Cup. If FIFA doesn't act, 2026 could see stars hopping mad on subpar surfaces. Enrique's rabbit jab sparked chuckles, but the issue's no laughing matter. Poor pitches risk injuries and tarnish FIFA's shiny event. Fans deserve to see Messi the Magician, not Roger the Rabbit. Advertisement FIFA's turf troubles aren't new. Past tournaments faced similar gripes, yet solutions lag behind them. With $2 billion in Club World Cup revenue projected, surely FIFA can spare a carrot or two for quality grass? Players like Estevao slammed MetLife's field, calling it 'unplayable' talking to The Athletic. The Brazilian wonderkid's frustration mirrors a tournament-wide sentiment. Nobody wants to chase a ball down a rabbit-hole. The Club World Cup should showcase football's best, not its worst lawns. FIFA must sow seeds for better pitches before the World Cup. Until then, players will keep hopping over divots, dreaming of greener pastures.
