Nasser Al-Khelaïfi took the floor to respond firmly to a rumor about the future of Luis Enrique at PSG.
The pitfall of Ligue 1 passed without incident with an easy victory over Toulouse on Friday, PSG can concentrate on the Champions League. In the flagship competition, where the Parisians have nevertheless gotten into the habit of getting through the group stage without much fear, the threat is now real. The defeat at home against Atlético de Madrid, in an incredible scenario, confirmed the great difficulties of the Ile-de-France players, who only have one victory, snatched at the last second against Girona on a gag goal. Time for the match on the Bayern Munich field, where any negative result would start to raise fears for the worst.
An elimination this early in the season, when we know the gloom of the last few months at Paris SG when the Champions League is over, could endanger Luis Enrique. Such a failure would be unprecedented, but it would not cost the Spanish coach his place. Asked very precisely about such a scenario, namely whether the former coach of La Roja would be fired in the event of early elimination in the Champions League, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi responded just as frankly in the negative, in an interview on Canal Football Club this Sunday evening.
Al-Khelaïfi is proud of his PSG
« Rumors about Luis Enrique being fired in the event of elimination in the Champions League? This is not true. It is certain that he will stay. I said last year that we are building a team and we have time. We are in no hurry. I am very happy and proud today of our Paris Saint-Germain team. Luis Enrique is here, with us », Assured the Qatari leader, who wants to make things clear regarding the future of his coach. It must be said that the latter has already signed his contract extension, even if PSG is perhaps waiting for warmer times to make it official.
In the meantime, the European awakening had better sound if the French champion does not want to fall from very high in this new generation Champions League.
