Paris Saint-Germain have approached Saudi Arabia coach Frank Rijkaard to take on the position of head coach at the joint Ligue 1 table-toppers, La Gazzetta dello Sport reports.
Sporting director Leonardo is believed to be unhappy with the performances under current trainer Antoine Kombouare and could decide to part company with the 48-year-old if PSG fail to reach the knockout stages of the Europa League this week.
The Parisians are already lining up replacements and have previously been linked with Carlo Ancelotti and Rafa Benitez, but they have now reportedly turned their attention to Rijkaard instead.
The Dutchman was appointed Saudi Arabia coach six months ago, but PSG are hopeful of luring him back to Europe this winter and have already been in touch with the former Barcelona and Netherlands boss about a potential move.
However, Paris Saint-Germain could face a tough task in luring Rijkaard away from his current job as he is under contract with Saudi Arabia.
