A former Serie A coach is the favourite to replace Thomas Tuchel at PSG, claim RMC Sport, but it’s Thiago Motta rather than Max Allegri.

Tuchel took his team to the Champions League Final in August, but they have stuttered so far this season and the tactician openly clashed with director Leonardo over transfer strategy.

It’s rumoured an exit could well be imminent and until now, former Juventus boss Allegri had been considered the most likely alternative, with Mauricio Pochettino also of interest.

Samuele Longo regrets not following Mauricio Pochettino in the Premier League and says he spent ‘too much time at Inter’.

The 28-year-old joined Vicenza on a permanent move from Inter in the summer and admits he is happy to have put an end to a series of endless loan spells.

“I spent too much time at Inter, going out on loan all the time didn’t help me,” Longo told Tuttosport.

“I always have the same passion, the same desire. I never give up and you’ll see it here at Vicenza.”

Mauricio Pochettino, who has also been linked to the Roma job, has reportedly met with Barcelona President Josip Bartomeu to replace Quique Setien.

The change of coach seems inevitable after an historic 8-2 Champions League quarter-final defeat to Bayern Munich last night.

According to Catalunya Radio, Pochettino has already been contacted with a view of taking over the Blaugrana bench.

Reports are growing that Mauricio Pochettino and Barcelona director Ramon Planes are being targeted to lead Roma next season.

The club takeover should be completed by the end of this month, with Dan Friedkin replacing James Pallotta at the helm.

According to Il Messaggero newspaper, Pochettino is increasingly likely to be the first choice as coach, as he is currently out of contract following his experience at Tottenham Hotspur.

He had also been linked with Juventus and Inter, having said he was interested in a Serie A challenge.

After links with Juventus and Inter, now it’s reported in Spanish newspaper As that Mauricio Pochettino could replace Paulo Fonseca at Roma.

The tactician is out of contract after his spell at Tottenham Hotspur and gave an interview this week in which he said he was ready to listen to offers from England, Italy or Spain.

He was mentioned when Antonio Conte argued with Inter directors, then as the hot favourite to take over after Juventus sacked Maurizio Sarri.

There are growing reports Andrea Pirlo will be announced as the new Juventus coach tonight or tomorrow, having sacked Maurizio Sarri.

Sky Sport Italia claim a decision could be made as early as tonight, at most tomorrow morning, a theory shared by the Corriere di Torino and Corriere della Sera.

According to Juventus reporter Gianluca Momblano, Sky Sport Italia, Sportitalia and others, Pirlo was spotted attending a meeting this evening at the Continassa headquarters.

Another new name has emerged for the Juventus bench after Maurizio Sarri was fired, with links for FC Porto coach Sergio Conceicao.

Sarri was formally dismissed this afternoon, as winning the Scudetto was not enough, considering he lost the Italian Supercup, the Coppa Italia Final and went out of the Champions League at the Round of 16.

Mauricio Pochettino remains the favourite for the Juventus job after Maurizio Sarri’s sacking, with Simone Inzaghi, Zinedine Zidane and Andrea Pirlo other candidates.

Sarri was formally fired this afternoon, an inevitable reaction after the Champions League Round of 16 exit at the hands of Lyon.

The hunt is on for a replacement, especially as pre-season training will begin within a couple of weeks.

Reports are growing that Maurizio Sarri’s time at Juventus is up, with a crisis meeting called, Mauricio Pochettino, Zinedine Zidane and Simone Inzaghi contacted.

Multiple sources now suggest the decision has been made and the coach informed, with a statement expected imminently.

Last night’s Champions League exit at the Round of 16 stage to Olympique Lyonnais proved the final straw for a campaign that has been consistently below expectations.

Juventus have already contacted Mauricio Pochettino to ask if he’ll replace Maurizio Sarri in Turin, claim Sportitalia, after their Champions League exit.

Influential transfer expert Alfredo Pedullà claims the club is in full flow to find a new coach following the defeat on away goals to Lyon in the Round of 16.

It’s claimed Pochettino is not only the hot favourite, but an initial contact has already been made to see if he is up for the challenge.
