In June 2013, the French legend Laurent Blanc was appointed manager of Paris Saint-Germain.
Like Emery, although he failed to lead Paris Saint-Germain to glory in Europe he achieved success in the domestic scene, but he won three Ligue 1 titles (2014, 2015, 2016), two Coupe de France (2015, 2016), three Coupe de la Ligue (2014, 2015, 2016) and three Trophee des champions (2013, 2014, 2015). Blank also has the highest winning percentage of any coach during the QSI era. He coached a 73% win rate in 173 matches (W126, D31, L16).
Blanc was unable to replicate the club’s domestic dominance in Europe, leading to his dismissal in June 2016.
The only man who should replace Ole is Laurent Blanc. One of the greatest Defenders in his playing days, Elite Manager in his own right. Won 4 French league Titles at Bordeaux & PSG.

In the summer of 2018, Thomas Tuchel signed a two-year contract with PSG. He won back-to-back league titles, the Coupe de France and the Ligue 1 Cup in his first two seasons at Parc des Princes. In May 2019, he received a contract extension that will keep him at the club until 2021.
However, four months after he led the club to its first Champions League final (2019-20 season), Tuchel had a dispute with the club’s hierarchy over transfers, leading to his dismissal.
In the end, Tuchel left Paris Saint-Germain with a record of 95 wins, 13 draws, and 19 losses in 127 matches.
