PSG are interested in former Bayern Munich boss Julian Naggelsmann

Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly in advanced talks with former Bayern Munich boss Julian Nagelsmann over the managerial role at the Parc des Princes.

PSG are expected to sack current manager Christophe Galtier despite delivering the Ligue 1 title this season.

The club's hierarchy are said to be dissatisfied with the team's play and performances throughout the course of the season and especially in the Champions League.

PSG want Nagelsman to replace Galtier

Following Saturday's 3-2 loss to Clermont, PSG finished just one point clear of Lens at the top of the Ligue 1 table.

Roma's Jose Mourinho and former Spain boss Luis Enrique have also emerged as candidates to succeed Galtier, but according to Foot Mercato, Nagelsmann is now the number one contender.

🚨 Paris Saint-Germain have discussed Julian Nagelsmann internally as one of the candidates for the job. Option to be considered as process will enter crucial stages next week. #PSG

Final decision NOT made yet.

The report claims that the 35-year-old has already held positive conversations with PSG's owners and should he land the job, is looking to bring Arsenal legend and former Monaco boss Thierry Henry with him as assistant manager.
