PSG contact Jose Mourinho as pressure mounts on manager Galtier

Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Luis Campos has contacted Jose Mourinho over potentially becoming manager, reports claim.

Current boss Christophe Galtier is under pressure after three defeats in a row in all competitions.

And PSG advisor Campos has contacted Mourinho, 60, about the job, according to Foot Mercato.

Mourinho has been linked with the Parc des Princes role in the past, most recently after Mauricio Pochettino was sacked last year.

The former Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham boss is currently manager at Roma, with the club fourth in Serie A.

But the report adds Mourinho “adores” PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe, who has netted 25 goals in 27 games this season.

Campos is reported to be a fan of Mourinho, while president Nasser Al-Khelaifi is also an admirer, although Zinedine Zidane is his first choice replacement for Galtier.

Any potential move to PSG would see Mourinho reunite with Joao Sacramento, who spent time as his assistant manager at both Tottenham and Roma.

However, while Campos is claimed to have contacted Mourinho directly, discussions between PSG and Roma are not thought to have taken place.

But relations between PSG chief Al-Khelaifi and Roma’s American owner, Dan Friedkin, are thought to be good.

Galtier’s position at PSG appears under threat, despite the club being five points clear at the top of Ligue 1.

There are said to be question marks from the PSG dressing room on whether Galtier has what it takes to turn things around following a poor run of form.

PSG were beaten 1-0 by Bayern Munich in their Champions League last-16 first leg and are facing elimination from the competition.

The two sides meet in Munich for the return leg on March 8th, with PSG needing to come from behind to progress to the quarter-finals.
