5 candidates being tipped to replace Unai Emery as PSG manager

It is almost certain that Emery will leave the PSG job this season

#3 Carlo Ancelotti

Carlo would be a fans' favourite as well as having an amazing record in the UCL — Ancelotti has an amazing record in the Champions League

The whispers about the Ancelotti to back to PSG move have grown into something that even the hierarchy of the club would be advised to pay heed to.

A man who knows the club well, having managed there between 2011-2013 wherein 2013, he delivered the club's first Ligue 1 title in 2013.

There are many reasons why a move for 58-year-old will make sense for the club but there are compelling reasons why this move should not happen.

Ever since he moved on from AC Milan in 2009, the Italian famed for his raised eyebrow move has been conducting his own personal tour of Europe’s finest clubs collecting titles and money from some of European football’s old and new royalty in the form of Chelsea, PSG, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.

In this period, he has cemented his reputation as a coach who understands the demands of playing in and winning the UEFA Champions League while also gaining a somewhat unfair reputation for not being so good at the weekly slog of a league run.

He can be the man to turn the fortunes of the club around or given how his career has panned out in the recent past, he may just be a sentimental choice that creates more of problems instead of solutions.
