If Paris Saint-Germain decides to replace Unai Emery in the summer, they have Antonio Conte ranked first followed by Andre Villas-Boas second and Jose Mourinho a distant third.

Emery has known since his arrival that higher priority is placed on Champions League success than any form of domestic triumph and the pressure on the former Sevilla boss has increased recently.

PSG has given themselves a goal of at least reaching the semifinals of the Champions League.

PSG will play Real Madrid in the round of 16 of the Champions League.

Sporting director Antero Henrique and chairman and CEO Nasser Al-Khelaifi have started to draw up a shortlist of names.

Conte and Mourinho have uncertain futures with their current clubs.

Conte's motivational qualities greatly appeal, while Henrique is a big fan of Villas-Boas' blend of authority and aesthetically pleasing football from their time together at Porto.

Villas-Boas is the obvious favorite to be approached for the job if Emery is dismissed as he currently is out of a job.
