According to French publication 'L'Equipe', the Basque manager's time in the PSG dugout could be limited. If he doesn't reach the Champions League semi-finals, his contract - set to expire next June - won't be renewed.

Despite getting off to a dominant start in Ligue 1, PSG signed Neymar and Mbappé with their sights European glory. The French outfit's extraordinary investment comes with the sole objective of a Champions League title.

To this end, Al-Khelaifi has made it clear to Unai Emery that his future on the PSG bench depends on his results in Europe this season.

The Qatari president isn't willing to suffer a "humiliation" similar to that at the Camp Nou last season, when they collapsed in the dying minutes against Barcelona.

With this and the dressing room split between Cavani and Neymar in mind, Emery finds himself in the eye of the storm, responsible for the future of the Parisian club.
