Paris Saint-Germain are considering a shock move to make Jose Mourinho their new Head Coach, according to reports.
The Ligue 1 champions are said to be on the verge of sacking Mauricio Pochettino after the French giants suffered a disappointing exit from the Champions League at the hands of Real Madrid at the quarter-final stage.
Pochettino is under contract until the end of next season, but PSG will dismiss him in the coming days, if reports are to be believed.
Mourinho has been linked with PSG in the past but the arrival of Luis Campos, who is taking over from Leonardo as sporting director, has led to a revived interest, report The Telegraph.
Paris Saint-Germain have dominated domestically since Qatar Sports Investment took over the club in 2011, but the European trophy has remained elusive up to now following a string of disappointing defeats in the latter stages.
Mourinho’s pedigree in Europe is said to be the motivating factor in PSG’s interest to lure the Portuguese away from Roma.
The 59-year-old guided Roma to win the first-ever Europa Conference League in May – the first major European trophy ever lifted by the Italian side.
It was his fifth European trophy and first since 2017 when he oversaw Manchester United’s 2-0 win over Ajax in the Europa League.
