  • Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly shown interest in the possibility of Jose Mourinho becoming their next manager
  • Mourinho's current deal with AS Roma expires in the summer and could consider a move to the French capital
  • Meanwhile, PSG will assess their options at the end of the season after enduring a topsy-turvy campaign, which resulted in an early Champions League exit

AS Roma manager Jose Mourinho has finally reacted to reports linking him to a sensational move to Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain in the summer.

Despite being on the cusp of guiding Les Parisians to a record-extending 11th French league title, Galtier's position as head coach hangs in the balance following a disappointing exit from the Champions League at the round-of-16 stage, prolonging their wait for a first European crown.

Meanwhile, Sky Sports reports that Mourinho has been touted as the potential replacement for Galtier. The veteran Portuguese tactician has been contacted by PSG's top hierarchy owing to his superior man-management skills and ability to handle players with big egos.

Reacting to the reports, Jose, who is in the final year of his contract with Roma, appeared to laugh at the reports linking him to PSG.

“If they called, they didn’t find me, I’ve never spoken to them,” Mourinho told Sky Italia via GOAL.

Meanwhile, the 60-year-old is preparing his Roma side for their Europa League semi-final assignment against Bayer Leverkusen on Thursday, May 11.

Mourinho inspires AS Roma U19

Jose Mourinho showed a heartwarming gesture with the youth team of AS Roma by inspiring them to victory with a half-time talk on his day off, Sports Brief reported.

Roma's top-four hopes suffered a massive blow after their 2-0 loss to Inter Milan at the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday, a game played with a depleted squad due to injuries.

The team were 1-0 down at half-time. The Special One gave an inspiring team talk to the young players at half-time, which spurred them to victory.

PSG contact Mourinho

Sports Brief previously reported that Jose Mourinho is a proven winner, and it is no surprise the veteran Portuguese manager is now on the radar of Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain.

PSG are desperate to win the UEFA Champions League and the club’s latest setback in the last-16 first-leg tie against Bayern Munich has got the French club looking for options.

PSG’s sporting director Luís Campos has contacted his fellow countryman and AS Roma head coach Mourinho as they look to replace Christophe Galtier.
