Paris Saint-Germain Won't Sack Laurent Blanc - Nasser Al-Khelaifi

Laurent Blanc's job is not in danger despite Paris Saint-Germain's poor start to the season, according to club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi. PSG were held to a 1-1 draw at home to Olympique Lyonnais this weekend and they are currently fifth in Ligue 1, having only won two of their opening six games as they bid to defend their domestic crown.

Having also drawn their opening Champions League match at Ajax, scrutiny over Blanc's position has swelled in the past month, but Al-Khelaifi insisted Blanc would be Parc des Princes' head coach until at least the end of the campaign.
