PSG attacker Angel di Maria is backing former teammate Giovani Los Celso to stay with Real Betis.

The Argentine is on-loan at Betis this season from PSG and set to sign permanently.

Di Maria said, "Sometimes when you change your coach, it's a bit scary.

"We say we may be left out, it is not easy, and I think this decision was positive for him.

"He wanted to play by being a starter."
