Unai Emery looks set to lose his job as Paris Saint-Germain boss this summer.
Paris Saint-Germain may have made waves in the transfer market over the summer by bringing in Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, but it counted for nothing on Tuesday night.
PSG were already 3-1 down from the first leg of their Champions League last 16 clash with Real Madrid, and slumped to a 2-1 defeat to Real in Paris on Tuesday night to crash out of the tournament.
Neymar was missing through injury, but PSG have ultimately fallen well short of expectations in Europe this season, and winning the Ligue 1 title may not be enough to save manager Unai Emery.
Marca report that PSG are already considering Chelsea boss Antonio Conte and Tottenham Hotspur’s Mauricio Pochettino as potential replacements, with Emery seemingly set for the Parc des Princes.
The Spaniard, lured from Sevilla in 2016, lost the league title to Monaco last season and hasn’t enjoyed the European success he had with Sevilla, meaning he is likely to be looking for work this summer.
One team who may be interested in that is Everton, given that majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri attempted to lure him to Goodison Park in the summer of 2016, as reported by The Telegraph.
With Sam Allardyce under huge pressure following a run of just two wins in 2018, Everton may consider big-name replacements this summer – and Emery certainly fits the bill for the Toffees.
The 46-year-old has won 78% of his games with PSG and won three straight Europa League titles with Sevilla, proving his quality as a manager, even if European success has escaped him this season.
Everton and Sevilla are similar in stature in their respective leagues, often seen as one of the main clubs away from those challenging for the title, and that could make Emery perfect for the Goodison Park job, rather than managing a powerhouse like PSG.
