While the PSG Handball season ended recently, general manager Thierry Omeyer spoke on Thursday about the future of the still ambitious French champions.
At the end of another very good year, a page will nevertheless turn at PSG Handball. Indeed, while the club have achieved an extraordinary clear round in the Liqui Moly Starligue and then won the Coupe de France in recent days, some departures will change the situation. Thus, Vincent Gérard, Mikkel Hansen, Nedim Remili and Benoit Kounkound will notably leave the French capital. If Luc Steins and Kamil Syprzak have recently extended, they will soon be joined by other very good elements, such as Andreas Palicka, Jannik Green or even Dominik Mathé, although injured and probably out of action until 2023. While the Parisians want to bet on stability, the future of some (Raul Gonzalez, Nikola Karabatic and Elohim Prandi) at the end of the contract in a year will also quickly arise. “These are subjects on which we will reflect. We won’t wait for February-March, players also need visibility “, in particular confided on the subject Thierry Omeyer, this Thursday.
PSG plays the continuity card
« We’ve been in the European top 5 for eight years, this continuity of performance is to be highlighted. Seven, eight teams can claim to qualify for the Final Four. (…) We will continue to have a large budget which allows us to measure ourselves against the best teams in the French Championship but in terms of taxation we cannot fight against Polish and Hungarian clubs, but it is not that inherent in the hand, later explained the general manager of PSG Handball, in remarks collected by L’Equipe. We will always have the ambition to play for national titles and to qualify for the Final Four. There will still be continuity because in all positions, apart from goalkeepers, the players are already there, the game well in place. “While vacation time has come for the players, who are enjoying a well-deserved rest until July 26, the leaders are therefore still working internally to allow the capital club to be as ambitious as ever. in France, as in Europe.
