French champions Paris Saint-Germain are almost reaching an agreement with former Real Madrid Coach, Zinedine Zidane to replace Mauricio Pochettino as coach, French media reported on Friday.
According to Europe 1, an agreement in principle is in place between the club and 49-year-old Zidane for the former Real Madrid boss to join ahead of the new season.
RMC Sport claims sources at the Parc des Princes have refused to deny the reports.
Later, a PSG source told AFP that such an agreement would have to be considered with caution.
Pochettino has a year left on his contract and led the Qatari-backed side to the Ligue 1 title last term but they were knocked out of the Champions League knock-out stages.
The outfit’s hierarchy have publically stated their desire to win the competition with Zidane having guided the Spanish giants to the title three seasons in a row.
At Madrid, the 1998 World Cup winner with France also lifted La Liga as well as the Copa del Rey twice.
