Paris Saint-Germain pitch maintenance dispute

Overview

Jonathan Calderwood, the head groundskeeper at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) since 2013, is facing potential dismissal following issues with the pitch quality at the Parc des Princes.

The disciplinary scrutiny follows the Ligue 1 season opener, where the playing surface was deemed unplayable due to fungus exacerbated by a heatwave. This forced the club to move its match against Stade Rennais to Roazhon Park, resulting in a 150,000 euro fine for the club.

Management has expressed dissatisfaction with the pitch performance, noting that the Parc des Princes fell out of the top three rankings for Ligue 1 playing surfaces for the first time in decades. Calderwood, a specialist in sports turf science, has been summoned to a preliminary interview to discuss his future with the club.
