After guiding Tottenham to victory over Real Madrid, will PSG want Mauricio Pochettino as manager even more?
Mauricio Pochettino, manager of Tottenham Hotspur, and Zinedine Zidane, manager of Real Madrid, shake hands following the game at the UEFA Champions League group H match.
The Tottenham Hotspur boss is joined on the list by two others from the Premier League in Chelsea’s Antonio Conte and Jose Mourinho of Manchester United.
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho arrives for the UEFA Champions League Group A football match against Benfica.
The other three are Carlo Ancelotti, Shanghai SIPG head coach Andre Villas-Boas and River Plate chief Alberto Gallardo. Atletico Madrid’s Diego Simeone may also be considered.
It is believed that Emery will not have his current contract, which expires in July, renewed unless he guides PSG to at least the semi-finals of the Champions League.
Unai Emery, head coach of PSG, looks on during the UEFA Champions League group B match against RSC Anderlecht.
Pochettino may have made himself the most appealing to replace the Spaniard after guiding Spurs to a convincing 3-1 victory over Real Madrid in Europe’s top football competition to move to top spot and seal their qualification from a group that also contains Borussia Dortmund.
The Ligue 1 giants are hoping that the fact the 45-year-old is a former player at the Parc des Princes will help their cause and believe the Argentine would like to return as a manager.
