In a turnaround that will have escaped no one at PSG, Aitor Unzué, pillar of Luis Enrique's staff, decided to pack his bags. At only 33 years old, the man who joined the Spanish coach in 2019 to accompany him within the Spanish national team, leaves his position as a video analyst at PSG to everyone's surprise.
Initially appointed second assistant to Luis Enrique before evolving into a more technical role, Aitor Unzué had established himself as a trusted element within the technical team. His analytical skills and his vision of the game had made him a valuable asset in the management of the Parisian club. But in the middle of the season, this discreet but influential ally of the Spanish coach left the ship, leaving in his wake questions about the internal dynamics of the PSG and the next stages of the adventure under the leadership of Luis Enrique.
Enrique “wishes Unzué the best”
The coach of PSG confirmed the news last week even though his club had not communicated on this subject. “ Unzué’s departure? Nothing special. Everyone's paths in football are personal trajectories and I make decisions. I thank him for these four years spent together and I wish him the best », said the Spanish coach.
Unzué returns to Barcelona for the moment…
Back in Barcelona, a city where he often supported Luis Enrique in the past, Aitor Unzué seems ready to take on new challenges. The former assistant, whose name is circulating behind the scenes of football, could soon find himself at the heart of an ambitious new project. But which club or team will have the honor of counting him in its ranks? A question that remains unanswered for the moment, although we know that the route the unzué never fails to arouse interest in the community. Meanwhile, PSG remains silent on the identity of the potential successor and now only has three video analysts. Vincent Brunet, Antoine Guillotin et Quentin Billy remain in office.
