In 2011, when Qatar Sports Investments acquired Paris Saint-Germain, they established a five-year plan to become a major European footballing powerhouse that involved competing at the business end of Europe’s premier club competition.

Jose Mourinho has twice rejected an offer to become coach of Paris Saint-Germain but has not ruled out moving to the French capital once his time with Chelsea ends.

It is "not certain" that Jose Mourinho will take over as Paris St Germain coach next season, according to club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
