After Paris Saint Germain fired head coach Thomas Tuchel, rumors quickly spread about the German's successor. Argentinian Mauricio Pochettino is already being called the new manager of the Ligue 1 champions "in five minutes." Le Parisien reports that the coach demands PSG to acquire Barcelona striker Lionel Messi. The 33-year-old forward has been playing in Catalonia since 2004 and could become a free agent next summer, starting negotiations with other teams as early as January. The specialist also has other well-known European athletes on his radar, such as Tottenham representative Dele Alli. According to The Sun, the Englishman could become the first purchase of PSG's new coach.
