5 candidates for the PSG manager job

#1 Zinedine Zidane (Real Madrid)

For a large majority of PSG fans and players alike, this would be seen as the dream appointment. A French footballing idol and top manager, Zinedine Zidane is undoubtedly capable of taking over in the hot seat at the Parc des Princes.

Not only is he a blockbuster name, he's already a master when it comes to winning the Champions League. During his two years in management, the legendary midfielder has won the trophy on both occasions and is looking to defend it once more as his Real Madrid side face another of his former sides, Juventus, in next month's quarter-finals.

When the 45-year-old talks, everyone listens. This would be a key aspect in earning the players' respect from the offset, if he were to be appointed in the French capital.

Unlike a handful of the aforementioned managers, Zizou has had the benefit of a large transfer pot in his current job and utilised it effectively. His name alone would be enough to attract players of the highest calibre and amidst talk of Neymar angling for a move away, it would be interesting to see the impact that Zidane might have on the whole situation.

As one of the world's best managers, Zidane should definitely be considered on PSG's managerial shortlist this summer - doing everything they can to persuade him into signing a deal would not be a bad idea either. After all, he's the man who just ruined their dreams of a Champions League trophy for another twelve months.
