PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN are reportedly set to sack Unai Emery at the end of the season.
The French side have targeted former Barcelona boss Luis Enrique as their preferred replacement.
According to L’Equipe PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi was infuriated by his club’s 3-1 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Tuesday.
The loss has caused the Parisian team’s decision makers to “seriously” consider axing the Spanish boss and replacing him at the end of the season.
Emery took charge of PSG in 2016 after three years at Sevilla and is so far enjoying a much better season than last when his team failed to hold on to the Ligue 1 title.
His side currently sit at the top of the French league nine points clear of second place Lyon after 13 wins and just a single loss after 16 matches.
However that loss came in their last league game in a surprising 2-1 defeat to newly-promoted side Strasbourg and his team of stars’ form has continued to dip.
Consequently PSG have compiled a shortlist of possible contenders to succeed Emery including Massimiliano Allegri, Antonio Conte, Diego Simeone and Jose Mourinho.

However the man at the top of their list is Enrique – who is available after leaving Barcelona in the summer.
The 47-year-old Spaniard – who lead the Catalans to a treble and a double in his first two seasons – was recently the cause of PSG heartache when he masterminded the greatest-ever Champions League comeback last season.
