Mauricio Pochettino is the manager for Paris Saint-Germain, but that could be changing heading into next season. The Argentine tactician is rumored to be in on the Manchester United job that Ralf Rangnick currently holds temporarily. 

The capital club could also be looking to move onto a new manager with their eyes on former Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane. According to Foot Mercato (via Canal Supporters), Les Parisiens have the French tactician as their priority. 

PSG appointing Zidane is a dream of the club’s, and the opportunity to put him in charge of the Ligue 1 side is a possibility. The French media outlet states his representative pushes the potential hiring in the right direction. If Zidane comes to Paris, he would like to have a significant influence on recruitment.

An RMC Sport report suggests that the 49-year-old will take the position no later than June, and it seems regardless of what happens this season with Pochettino, PSG is pushing to make sure they can land Zidane for the 2022-23 season.
