- PSG have started looking for a new coach after crashing out of the UEFA Champions League competition on Tuesday, March 6

- Goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Casemiro ended the Parisians dream of winning treble this season

- Meanwhile, Wenger and Conte have been lined up as possible replacement for the Spaniard, whose contract expires this summer

Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly started shopping for a top class coach that can help them win the coveted UEFA Champions League title next season.

The Parisians were recently ousted from the UEFA organized championship following their 2-1 defeat to Real Madrid on Tuesday, March 6 – having lost the reverse fixture 3-1 three weeks back in Spain.

Since their aim of landing the European title this season has been shattered, the French team have highlighted four top coaches, who can replace Unai Emery at the club – and the current Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is one of the candidates.

Under-fire Chelsea manager, Antonio Conte, is also a possible choice while Carlo Ancelotti and Roberto Mancini completes the temporary list compiled by the big-spending Qatari club.

Having being knocked out of the tournament at the round of 16 stage, the Ligue 1 leaders have now suffered the second consecutive ouster to a Spanish League side at the same level of the competition.

Meanwhile, since the triple Europa League winning coach, Unai Emery, has been unable to lead PSG to the semifinals of the competition, the Spanish tactician might be relieved of his duty by the end of the summer.

Despite signing the duo of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe for over £365 million last summer, the Parc Des Princes outfit are still ordinary on the continent, crashing out of the championship in the last two editions in the at the last 16 stage.

Former manager, Laurent Blanc, did not enjoyed this much luxury while he was managing the team, yet he was fired even after leading them to the quarterfinals.

Having seen his team crash out of the competition at the last 16 stage for the second time on the bounce, PSG president Nasser al-Khelaïfi admits that everyone is not happy at the moment, adding that they are considering to effect a lot of changes at the club, but would not be in a hurry to do so.

“Now is not the time to talk about changes. Everyone is annoyed. We will calm down and think about what we have to change. We are happy with our investment, we believe in our players. We want to continue our project.”

PSG will be hoping to sign any of Arsene Wenger or Antonio Conte, who might lose their jobs at the end of the summer, while Mancini is seeking another challenge away from Zenit.

Emery said: “My future is the present. I do not want to waste energy on things which, for me, are not important.”

On Sunday before the Real Madrid match, sporting director Antero Henrique said: “We will decide together, him and me, and speak at the end of the season and he is comfortable with that. What occupies us today are matches – the challenges that await us.”
