Brazilian Paulo César hired as coach of PSG women’s team

By Canadian Press on July 7, 2025.

PARIS (AP) — Paulo César was hired as coach of the Paris Saint-Germain women’s team on Monday, having played for the men’s team during his career as a midfielder.

PSG said in a statement that the 47-year-old Brazilian signed a two-year contract. He previously coached the club’s under-19 women’s team, which won the title last season, and he took charge of the women’s senior team on an interim basis after Fabrice Abriel was fired last May.

“I’m deeply attached to this club,” César said. “It’s with a lot of enthusiasm and determination that I take on this role.”

César made 67 appearances for the men’s team from 2002-07, winning the French Cup in 2006, and also played in Ligue 1 for Toulouse. He won three caps with Brazil.
