Unai Emery has the full "support" of Paris-Saint Germain, says club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi, amid speculation he could be sacked.
After PSG failed to progress beyond the last-16 of the Champions League, reports have suggested the Sevilla boss could be shown the exit door this summer.
Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte had been linked with taking over from the Spaniard, however the PSG president moved to quash any rumours Emery was going to be replaced.
"Unai is our coach," said Al-Khelaifi. "We support Unai. Each day, I see the names written behind Unai. However, it is he who is our coach and the whole club is behind him."
PSG retained the Coupe de la Ligue with a 3-0 win over Monaco on Saturday, with Kylian Mbappe playing a starring role against his former club, but Al-Khelafi is already targeting the next silverware of the season.
"I think it was a good match, a good advert for French football," he said. "We were very good. We could have scored more, but we are very happy with the win.
"We are very proud of this new trophy. It is very important for the club, the fans, the players and the staff, of course.
"We played well. We still have two trophies to win this season, Ligue 1 and the Coupe de France, and we will be able to focus on other objectives next season. But we want to win what we can still win this season."
