Unai Emery could be given the boot soon enough, as reported by French publications 'SFR' or 'L'Equipe'. The latter compiled a list of names who could succeed the Spaniard in the dugout at the Parc des Princes.

Luis Enrique

One of the names which is being considered in Paris. Al Khelaifi and Antero Henrique are fond of the former Barca manager's methods. Negotiations would be simpler at first glance as he is currently out of a job.

Massimiliano Allegri

His passion and competitiveness on the touchline is what PSG directors want to see instilled into their players. He is in charge of Juventus, with his contract running until 2020.

Antonio Conte

Another Italian with a zest for the game. PSG would love to have the Chelsea manager, whose deal at Stamford Bridge expires in 2019.

Diego Pablo Simeone

The Argentine has proved at Atletico Madrid what he can build with a limited budget and a great deal of discipline. A true leader who is capable of managing the war of egos in the dressing room. His contract ties him to the Spanish capital until 2020.

Jose Mourinho

The Manchester United boss is widely regarded as one of the best in the world and he could be lured by an interesting project from the French giants. Much like Conte, his contract runs out in 2019.

Mauricio Pochettino

PSG love the Argentine's character and could consider putting him in charge. The Tottenham coach is not one of the favourites to join the Ligue 1 side.

Andre Villas-Boas

Having just terminated his contract at Shanghai SIPJ, the former Chelsea and Tottenham boss would have no obstacles in taking over from Unai Emery at the Parc des Princes.
