PSG Drop Interest In Manager With Chelsea Set To Pounce

PSG and Chelsea have both been rumoured to be looking for new managers when it comes to the end of the season and PSG believe they've missed out on their first choice because of the Premier League side.

Is Antonio Conte likely to get the sack this summer? He won the Premier League just last season when no one expected him to do so but as is the recent history of Chelsea football club that counts for nothing.

Is Unai Emery likely to get the sack this summer? The PSG manager didn't win the league in France last season when everyone expected him to do so, so he was lucky to keep his job, he will though win the league this season.

Both managers then might be a little unlucky to be without jobs when the summer rolls around but that's exactly what looks like happening. So who will replace them both?

With both teams a very desirable location for the best managers in the world it's no surprise that both sides could be battling over the same names and if reports in France are to be believed then the Premier League side will be the winners.

According to French newspaper La Parisien PSG are to drop their interest in former Barcelona manager Luis Enrique because they believe that the Spaniard is set to move to Stamford Bridge in the summer.

Whilst that will be a blow to the French team it's not going to stop them sacking Emery after his failure in the Champions League despite the huge investment in the summer to bring in Neymar and Kylian Mbappe.

However the good news for PSG is that should Chelsea sign Enrique this summer then Conte might well be free, unless he returns to Italy, and that could be a very enticing prospect for them.

The Italian has criticised the club's spending ever since he arrived at Stamford Bridge at the beginning of last season, after Euro 2016, but made do last season but this year it looks unlikely he'll qualify for the Champions League.

Conte could head back to Italy to take the national job whilst undoubtedly there would be interest from elsewhere but if lack of spending is his gripe then PSG could be perfect.
