Mauricio Pochettino’s replacement at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has apparently been narrowed down to five candidates.
PSG is rumored to be on the verge of parting ways with Pochettino, and the club has identified roughly five managers who could take over as manager next season.
Pochettino’s future at the club has been questioned in recent weeks, with the French Ligue 1 champions unimpressed by what they’ve seen since his January 2021 hiring.
Zinedine Zidane, the former Real Madrid coach, is one of the club’s five-man shortlist to follow the Argentine, according to L’Equipe via Le10sport.
However, closing the transaction may be difficult because Zidane is waiting for Didier Deschamps to step down as manager of the French national team after the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
PSG is also keeping an eye on Tottenham Hotspur’s Antonio Conte, according to the report.
Former Germany head coach Joachim Löw is another manager on the shortlist.
