Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly identified Mikel Arteta and Antonio Conte as potential candidates to replace boss Mauricio Pochettino.
Although the French giants are well on their way to winning Ligue 1 this season, their capitulation against Real Madrid in the Champions League last week is expected to result in a change in the dugout.
According to L'Equipe, there are as many as nine candidates who have been shortlisted for the role, including Arteta and Conte.
Arteta, a former PSG player, has put Arsenal in prime position to earn a return to the Champions League, while Conte's stock remains high after his success at Inter Milan despite an indifferent start to life at Tottenham Hotspur.
The report claims that Atletico Madrid's Diego Simeone, Juventus' Massimiliano Allegri and Inter's Simone Inzaghi are also under consideration.
Erik ten Hag of Ajax, Christophe Galtier of Nice, Thiago Motta of Spezia and the currently unattached Lucien Favre are said to complete the list.
