Former Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez is reportedly close to signing a deal to become the next manager of Paris-Saint Germain.
The French club have sacked coach Antoine Kombouare and are ready to appoint the Spaniard, according to the television channel Al-Jazeera.
The 51-year-old has been out of work since he was sacked by Inter Milan in December 2010.
PSG are currently second in the Ligue 1 table after a 3-2 win against Auxerre on Sunday.
