5 candidates for the PSG manager job

#4 Mauricio Pochettino (Tottenham)

Pochettino has turned Spurs from top-four challengers into genuine title contenders

From one side of north London to the other, this is a manager who will be sought after by many of Europe's big boys over the next few seasons, especially if he continues to replicate the success he has had thus far at Tottenham.

On a tight budget at Spurs, Pochettino has done wonders by turning them into genuine title contenders as well as a force to be reckoned with in the Champions League.

With youngsters like Harry Kane and Dele Alli coming to the fore over the past few seasons for last term's runners-up, it highlights the quality of their Argentine boss when integrating young talent into a side. He has assembled a well-oiled machine at Wembley, with players that would not have been seen as European starters a few years ago proving their critics wrong in style. With the financial backing at PSG, the 46-year-old would be well-equipped to put together an even stronger side with strength in depth too.

His head could easily be turned by the Ligue 1 leaders as it is understood that his wage, just like that of his key players, is nowhere near that of some direct rivals. He used to play for Paris Saint-Germain too back at the beginning of the 21st century, having made over 70 appearances during his three-year stint in Paris - representing a place that he naturally still has close to his heart.
