Paris Saint-Germain have denied reports that former Juventus coach Antonio Conte is close to taking over from Laurent Blanc as coach.

According to Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport, Conte is being lined up to replace Blanc despite the Frenchman guiding PSG to the French title last season. However French newspaper L’Equipe says PSG officials have dismissed the story as being started by the coach’s entourage to facilitate him signing with another club.

Conte left his position as Juventus coach earlier this month and has since been replaced by former AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri.
