Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has emerged as the top target to replace Unai Emery in the eyes of Paris Saint-Germain's sporting director.
The Spaniard has been under the cosh at PSG this season and many feel if they fail to win the Champions League, the former Sevilla boss will be shown the door at the Parc des Princes next summer.
Emery’s relationship with PSG’s star signing Neymar is also believed to be strained and there are suggestions that the most expensive player in the world is not too keen to continue to work under the Spaniard.
PSG have been canvassing the European table to find a suitable replacement and there is speculation that Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri and Chelsea manager Antonio Conte are on their radar.
But according to French magazine Le 10 Sport, Tottenham manager Pochettino has emerged as the favoured candidate for PSG sporting director Antero Henrique to replace Emery in the French capital.

Pochettino has earned plaudits for the work he has done at Tottenham and his side’s impressive performance in the Champions League have not gone unnoticed.
The Argentine has a contract until 2021 with Tottenham and club chairman Daniel Levy is expected to fight hard to keep him in north London if PSG come calling for him in the coming months.
Jose Mourinho also remains on their radar but it largely depends on whether the Portuguese agrees to sign a new contract with Manchester United in the coming months.
