Arriving last summer on the bench of Paris Saint-Germain, Luis Enrique still has one year of contract with the capital club. Its future is unclear, even if it is unanimous among managers and players.
After the double Pocchetino-Galtier fiasco, Nasser Al-Khelaifi decided after the 2022-2023 season to entrust the keys of PSG to Luis Enrique, the Qatari president of the French champions knowing full well that the Spanish coach had a strong character and would not let him interfere in his tactical choices. Almost a year later, and without waiting for the end of a season which could become historic for Paris Saint-Germain, one thing is certain, it is that Luis Enrique has put the supporters in his pocket, and that internally, he managed to unite everyone behind his project. Obviously, a victory in the Champions League could allow him to enter directly into the legend of PSG, but in the meantime, the 53-year-old Spanish technician only has one year left on his contract in Paris.
Luis Enrique at PSG for a long time
While rumors had made him a possible successor to this subject. According to José Barroso, who follows PSG news for the daily L’Equipe, the Parisian coach is sending signals to his management which suggest that he wants to stay there for many seasons, at least if we give him time. the opportunity. “ A detail much appreciated internally: in meetings, he works by considering things in the long term and does not give the feeling of having just come to collect a (huge) check before going elsewhere. In short, it is satisfactory and the idea of an extension (he is under contract until 2025) is also in the air, even if no discussion has started for the moment, everyone being focused on upcoming deadlines », Reveals our colleague.
On the Paris Saint-Germain side, everything is going well in the best of all possible worlds, and this will be even more the case if Luis Enrique and his players go to the final of the Champions League and win it, just like the Coupe de France. Otherwise, inevitably, the old demons could awaken, Nasser Al-Khelaifi sometimes having difficulty managing his cold anger when things do not go in the right direction. But in the meantime, Luis Enrique is well on his way to becoming the star of PSG, just as Kylian Mbappé is leaving.
