A club can easily be lulled into complacency when it proves so dominant. But PSG coach Laurent Blanc quickly spiked that idea. “We have a squad that always wants to win titles, ” Blanc told the club’s website. Blanc has kept the core of his winning squad, replacing aging defenders Christophe Jallet and Alex with Ivory Coast fullback Serge Aurier and Brazil centerback David Luiz. Qatari owners have made clear that the ultimate goal is to win the Champions League while retaining the French league title is the bare minimum.
Ranieri wanted to sign three or four key players whereas Russian owner Dmitry Rybolovlev preferred to put the emphasis on the development of young players. Marseille coach Marcelo Bielsa and Lyon coach Hubert Fournier will also face pressure as their clubs are seeking a Champions League spot. Bielsa guided Athletic Bilbao to a runner-up finish in the 2012 Europa League while Fournier helped Reims finish 11th last season. Expectations will be lower for Bordeaux coach Willy Sagnol and Bastia coach Claude Makelele, who were part of the France team that lost the 2006 World Cup final to Italy.
CAN MONACO CONTEND? Monaco outspent PSG last summer, with an outlay of more than 165 million euros for Radamel Falcao, James Rodriguez, amongst others. But Monaco has so far been frugal in the offseason, which has seen it make a profit in the transfer market, after selling Rodriguez to Real Madrid for a reported fee of 80 million euros. Rodriguez was the top scorer at the World Cup in Brazil with six goals and proved instrumental in Monaco’s title bid last season by scoring nine goals and creating 12 assists. Monaco has also lost forward Emmanuel Riviere to Newcastle United and defender Eric Abidal to Olympiakos. Last season’s runner-up has only recruited unproven players so far. The squad seems significantly weaker and the side could struggle to simultaneously cope with the French league and the Champions League. NEW COACHES UNDER PRESSURE Portuguese coach Leonardo Jardim has some big shoes to fill at Monaco, which dismissed Claudio Ranieri in May despite a runner-up finish in the league.

MONEY MATTERS Lens has been barred from signing new players by the French league’s financial watchdog until its main shareholder, Azerbaijani businessman Hafiz Mammadov, transfers four million euros to the promoted club. By contrast, Marseille had to deal with more trivial issues.

Both parties reached an agreement last week over an annual fee of four million euros plus a percentage on the club’s turnover instead of an annual fee of eight million euros plus a percentage on ticket sales.
