It was announced on 15 January 2007 that Le Guen would return to the club he once skippered as a player as first team coach replacing Guy Lacombe at Paris Saint-Germain.
When Le Guen arrived, PSG were lying 17th in Ligue 1 but he led them to safety in his first season finishing 15th.
As the 2007–08 season in Ligue 1 unfolded, it was clear that Le Guen was getting inconsistent performances from the crop of players, as the club was in the relegation zone with four games in the league season remaining, while winning the Coupe de la Ligue after beating Lens with 2–1, as well as qualifying for the final of the Coupe de France.
Winning the Coupe de la Ligue guaranteed the side a place in the UEFA Cup for the 2008–09 season.
PSG announced on 5 May 2009 that Le Guen would not be offered a new contract and would leave at the end of the 2008–09 season.
