Lively altercation between Marie-Antoinette Katoto and PSG sports director Angelo Castellazzi

At PSG, the end of the season is long. Very long. In recent days, the Parisian club has experienced many ups and downs. On Saturday, it lost in the Coupe de France final against Paris FC (0-0, 4-5 on penalties), watched by president Nasser al-Khelaïfi, who doesn't make the trip that often to watch the women's team play. On Monday, coach Fabrice Abriel was dismissed due to his results but also his fractious management, which led to the sidelining of Grace Geyoro, at the end of 2024, and then Sakina Karchaoui, more recently.

In the evening, a long meeting took place between the players and Angelo Castellazzi, among others. According to our information, a heated argument broke out between the capital club's sporting director and Marie-Antoinette Katoto, who has scored 12 goals and provided 3 assists this season. The French international striker (51 caps, 37 goals) accused him of criticizing her during another meeting. Tensions escalated. The two protagonists found themselves at odds and had to be separated. Contacted Tuesday, the club declined to comment.

This incident is the epilogue of a relationship that has been broken for many months between Katoto and the Italian. In mid-October, Castellazzi spoke about the end of his player's contract (26 years old): "A contract is the will of two parties on a single project. We are looking for people who want to be at PSG with the same project, with the desire for results. It's the same for all players at the end of their contract. The message is not changing: you have to have a desire to stay in Paris and be happy."

At the end of November, Katoto spoke to AFP about her future and confirmed that no contract extension discussions were underway: "My decision has already been made and it won't change." Asked about a possible departure, she replied: "We'll see." Katoto, who is on track to join OL next season, had been unhappy at her former club for a long time and the situation eventually deteriorated.

Like other key players (Geyoro, Mbock, Dunn, De Almeida, Groenen), she has not been called up by interim manager Paulo Cesar for the Premier League match scheduled for Wednesday evening in Nantes. In her case, this seems more like a punishment than a rest in anticipation of Sunday's clash against Paris FC in the play-off semi-finals. A match the striker could well miss.
