Paris St Germain on Tuesday issued a terse “no comment” following
reports in England that the French champions had approached Jose
Mourinho to become their new manager.
Sky Sports News flashed the development across their programming,
billing it ‘Breaking News’ and citing “Sky sources”. Other websites were
quick to follow.
Sky said PSG chairman Nasser al-Khelaifi was understood to have
instigated the approach to Mourinho immediately after PSG’s Champions
League exit at the hands of Manchester City last week, “having grown
frustrated at the club’s lack of progress in Europe under Laurent
Blanc”.
Blanc signed a two-year contract extension in February, taking him through to June 2018.
The runaway French champions were not answering phone calls when
contacted by Reuters, but sent a text message stating “No comment” when
asked about the Mourinho report.
Portuguese Mourinho, who was sacked by Premier League Chelsea last
December, has also been linked with Manchester United, where Louis van
Gaal has failed to win over fans.
