PSG finds itself in a situation rarely seen in the history of football. The club secretly extended a coach that all the players, supporters and managers now want to see leave! Never seen before…
Only PSG is capable of putting itself in such situations… That of a club which has just renewed a coach who could be fired in the days to come. An incredible situation from which the Qataris will have all the difficulty in the world to escape through the front door. However, Doha did offer two more seasons to Luis Enrique this fall. An extension which has not yet been made official since the desire was to announce the news at the same time as Luis Campos, sporting director, whose fate is also in the balance.
Luis Enrique, the locker room can't take it anymore
Luis Enrique and PSG, it’s a story that started well. A promising first season with play and well-defined precepts by the Spanish technician. Ideas that are a little too firm and work less and less well, as evidenced by the team's catastrophic run in the Champions League this season. And this is not without consequences for the locker room. Fabrice Hawkins, journalist for RMC, confirms that things are heating up with the players: “It’s more and more tense between Luis Enrique and PSG players. It’s a fact”. The newspaper L'Équipe, for its part, actually did an entire article on the divorce between Luis Enrique and Ousmane Dembélé, the new star of the team since the departure of Kylian Mbappé.
Extended and soon disembarked?
How will PSG manage to get rid of such mischief? Difficult to say… The results in Ligue 1 and on the European scene are clearly insufficient. All the coaches who passed through Paris with such a record were thanked. But none had a freshly signed contract extension… Currently paid up to one million euros per month, Luis Enrique obtained better conditions for 2025-2027. If he gets ejected this winter, he will take a check for at least 30 million euros. Unheard of in the history of PSG and football in general…
