Even if PSG has finally broken their Round of 16 hoodoo in the UEFA Champions League, coach Thomas Tuchel could find it hard to keep his job for next season.
According to a report by Foot Mercato, the German boss might be living his final months as PSG's tactician, mainly because of his poor relationship with the team's main players, including Kylian Mbappé. In fact, one of Mbappé's conditions to sign a contract extension has to do with Tuchel not being around, and that's why Les Parisiens are reportedly negotiating with the boss' replacement.
The man Nasser Al-Khelaifi and sporting director Leonardo have targeted to become PSG's new coach is Massimiliano Allegri. The Italian manager had already been linked with the club during the winter, but negotiations have escalated between the club and the coach's agent, according to the report.
Allegri has stated in the past that he wants to try his coaching skills away from his home country, and PSG would be willing to give him that chance, especially since Leonardo is an avid fan of the coach's work.
If Allegri joins PSG, he will also have turned down the possibility of coaching Manchester United, who had him on top of their list if Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was eventually sacked. Now, with the Norwegian seemingly leading Manchester United back to the UEFA Champions League, Allegri may be prone to search for other employment opportunities. Only time will tell if the Red Devils missed out on his services in case Solskjaer's men drop the ball once the Premier League resumes.
