AFP, PARIS: Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi says coach Unai Emery's job is “200 per cent” secure despite the loss of their Ligue 1 crown and failure to make strides in Europe.
Al-Khelaifi was speaking in the aftermath of PSG's last gasp 1-0 win over Angers in the French Cup final on Saturday.
Unfortunate Issa Cissokho headed agonisingly into his own net in stoppage time at the Stade de France to give PSG a third consecutive French Cup win. It joins the League Cup in the PSG trophy cabinet and provides some more consolation for the capital side after a season that will be best remembered for their failures elsewhere. Emery's side missed out on the league title to Monaco after winning Ligue 1 in each of the previous four campaigns and exited the Champions League in humiliating fashion to Barcelona in the last 16.
