He was one of Luis Enrique‘s valuable relays since the Parisian coach settled in the capital in July 2023. Aitor Unzué, 33, has, according to our information, made the decision to leave the coach’s staff Spanish. Appointed second assistant to Luis Enrique during their first season at PSG, Unzué has seen his role evolve in recent months since he took on the role of video analyst. Guillem Hernandez Folguera succeeded him as deputy last summer.
If the reasons for this departure remain unclear, the young technician would not leave angry and considered his time at PSG as a good experience. Unzué has since returned to Barcelona, where his father Juan Carlos is, who was also part of Luis Enrique’s staff at Barça before being forced to end his career due to Charcot’s illness. This stand-by period should not last long, as Luis Enrique’s former right-hand man is, according to our information, about to embark on a new project.
Aitor Unzué began collaborating with Luis Enrique in 2019 in a role as video analyst for the Spain national team. At PSG, he had gained ground and remained a base man for the Spaniard who regularly consulted him on tactical questions. On match nights, Unzué regularly sat on the bench and he also sat in the stands, with the video analysts, to provide information to his coach. After a little over a year of collaboration in the capital, the adventure has finally come to an end.
