If Mourinho becomes PSG boss, it will be the second time the Portuguese manager is replacing Pochettino in recent years after the same switch took place at Tottenham in 2019.
PSG are keen on winning the Champions League and believe they can achieve that by appointing Mourinho as manager.
Meanwhile, the legendary Portuguese boss recently admitted that he’s a Chelsea man.
Mourinho told BT Sport: “Of course, my English connection is Chelsea – that’s the way I’m seeing it, as a Chelsea man, two periods at Chelsea, six years.”
