Paris Saint-German are reportedly considering appointing former Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho.
PSG look set to sack Mauricio Pochettino and Mourinho is a frontrunner to succeed him at the Parc des Princes. Mourinho won the inaugural Europa Conference League with Roma this season, but his side finished sixth in Serie A with 63 points.
Mourinho's managerial style has been questioned in recent years. Although 'the Special One' won two trophies at Old Trafford with his pragmatic style — and he remains the last manager to win silverware at United — his style of play and confrontational approach with players ultimately led to his dismissal at the club. Mourinho had an underwhelming stint at Tottenham after United before joining Roma last summer.

It's understood that Mourinho is happy to stay at Roma, but the former United boss could be tempted by the PSG position, given the lure of trying to win the Champions League.
However, there are doubts about whether his style would suit the club and his comments from 2019, just after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's United secured a famous win over the French giants in the Champions League, tell PSG what they would be getting from Mourinho.
"If the responsibility is on the bad days are for the managers, then the responsibilities for the good days should also," Mourinho said.
"Manchester United had four shots during 95 minutes, and in four shots scored three goals, and PSG had almost 70 per cent of ball possession, had more than 10 shots, and they scored only one.
"That’s the pragmatic way of looking at football, Manchester United scores three, and they deserve to go through."
Mourinho is a pragmatic manager and he enjoyed Solskjaer's tactical plan against PSG that night.
