The search for a substitute in the Paris Saint Germain (PSG) bench

The search for a substitute in the Paris Saint Germain (PSG) bench is a topic that feeds French press since the disqualification of the club in the Champions League. According to "Le Parisien" and citing the president's preferences, Italian Massimiliano Allegri appears as the favorite.

The newspaper claims that the succession of Emery - who has a contract until June - has accelerated in recent days and Allegri is "the most credible candidate", thanks to his results with Juventus in Turin, which he led to the Champions League final in 2015 and 2017.

Above all, the doubts that the leaders of the Parisian team may have had about his suitability have been swept away by the "tactical" achievement of the Juventus coach since 2014 (previously in charge of AC Milan) in the second leg of the Champions League Round of 16 against Tottenham, where he achieved a 1-2 victory.

In addition - according to "Le Parisien" - his human and psychological profile seduces PSG's president, Nasser Al Khelaïfi, as he knows how to control his emotions in public, while being inflexible in the dressing room.

Allegri, who has a contract in Turin until 2020, would need the approval of his club's leaders to go to Paris. He has activated his network of informants after receiving interest from the French team in order to know their internal functioning.

The name of the Italian has displaced others who had also been rumored since PSG was once again eliminated from the Champions League, this time by Real Madrid. The list had included Spanish Luis Enrique and, above all, Italian Antonio Conte, who is a candidate to become the coach of the Italian national team.
