PSG chairman has 'total confidence' in Emery

Paris Saint-Germain chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi insists he has "total confidence" in Unai Emery despite speculation over the head coach's future.

The Ligue 1 champions have produced inconsistent displays since the former Sevilla boss took over from Laurent Blanc and sit third in the table after 19 matches, five points behind leaders Nice.

Pressure has mounted on Emery in recent weeks, although a 5-0 thrashing of Lorient on Wednesday gave PSG a timely morale boost following a run of just one win in five games in all competitions.

Al-Khelaifi, however, says the 45-year-old would not have been sacked even if PSG had suffered a shock defeat to the league's bottom club.
