Roma boss Jose Mourinho has emerged as a candidate to replace Mauricio Pochettino as the new manager of Paris Saint-Germain this summer, according to a report.
The 59-year-old returned to management with Roma during the 2021-22 campaign following his sacking from Tottenham Hotspur in April 2021, where in strange circumstances, he had replaced Pochettino in the dugout.
Roma and Mourinho endured a respectable first season together, with a sixth-placed finish in Serie A being enough to see the club qualify for the Europa League, whilst the former Manchester United and Chelsea boss also oversaw his side lift the Europa Conference League trophy.
However, after just 12 months back in Italy, Mourinho could well be on the move again according to talkSport, who are reporting that PSG are considering his services ahead of the 2022-23 season.
Pochettino is said to be on the verge of the sack in Paris following an underwhelming season, despite leading the club back to the Ligue 1 title at the first attempt.
The Argentinian struggled in the Champions League though - the Qatari owners' primary goal - with a round-of-16 exit to Real Madrid causing uproar throughout the club and its fanbase.
Despite underwhelming spells with Man Utd and Spurs, Mourinho has gone on to win the league titles in England, Spain, Italy and Portugal during his illustrious career so far, as well as each of the three European trophies on offer.
