BILD believes that Aaron Danks will likely take charge on the sidelines in Paris, with Vincent Kompany suspended for the semi-final first-leg.

However, there's no clear hierarchy among Kompany's assistants and the Belgian doesn't have a clear number one assistant coach.

Each of the four has their own responsibilities, without any hierarchy, as Sport BILD reports, which are listed below:

Aaron Danks focuses on set pieces. Floribert N'Galula has been with Kompany his entire coaching career and is very involved in training.

René Marić is primarily the tactical mastermind, while Daniel Fradley recently joined from Manchester City as chief analyst.

Danks is currently always the first assistant giving out the instructions from the sidelines during set piece routines in games.

Danks has already been interim manager for two games at Aston Villa, where he was also an assistant to Unai Emery and Steven Gerrard.

He also performed similar acts when part of Michael Carrick's rein at Middlesbrough and at Anderlecht with Kompany again.
