PSG identify Jose Mourinho as replacement for Christophe Galtier

Paris Saint-Germain are considering Roma manager Jose Mourinho as a replacement for Christophe Galtier, according to RMC Sport.

Galtier has been heavily speculated to leave Parc des Princes just after one season because of the failure in the Champions League, where PSG got knocked out in the round of 16 against Bayern Munich.

The French Gaffer’s tactical prowess has also been called into question due to PSG’s highly inconsistent form post the World Cup.

Above all, the recent racism accusations against Galtier have added more uncertainty over his continuity at the French capital.

PSG football advisor Luis Campos has handpicked Mourinho as an ideal candidate for the managerial role, having worked together with his compatriot a decade ago at Real Madrid.

After some underwhelming years at Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, Mourinho has revived himself in Serie A, turning Roma into one of the most exciting sides in Europe.

The Portuguese gaffer led the Giallorossi to the Conference League title last year and is on course to secure a top-four finish in Serie A this season, with Roma sitting third in the table.

However, their Europa League hopes are hanging in the balance following the 1-0 defeat against Feyenoord in the quarter-finals last week. Roma will be looking for a turnaround in the second leg on Thursday.

Although the former Chelsea gaffer seems to be enjoying his time in the Italian capital, his future is far from resolved.

The legendary gaffer reportedly wants more financial backing from the Giallorossi owners this summer to compete on all fronts, or else he could consider an exit.

PSG are in for a manager with a lot of Champions League pedigree, and Mourinho perfectly fits the bill.

Moreover, the former Madrid gaffer will have more financial leeway at PSG and can work with Campos in tandem to sort out the desired transfer targets.

Roma will be keen to hold onto Mourinho, who, on the other hand, is said to be willing to move to the French capital.
