It was an open secret. The good harmony between Nasser Al Khelaïfi, Luis Campos and Luis Enrique was more than evident. And it has resulted in an agreement for the Spanish coach to remain in Paris for at least two more seasons.. “Luis Enrique is the best,” proclaimed the president of PSG. Same line used by the Portuguese sports director: “He is a huge, very good and special coach.” Everything is happiness with Luis Enrique at PSG.
Those good words have culminated in a handshake so that the Asturian coach continues to lead the Parisians until 2027. Luis Enrique managed to have a great first year in the city of light. PSG won the treble: Ligue 1, French Cup and Super Cup in 2023-2024. The Champions League continued to resist them, although they reached the semifinals of the European tournament. The curse of the posts against Dortmund.
Luis Enrique has had enough of saying in recent months, more so since the departure of Mbappé, that he is forming a team and that the most important thing is the group over individualities.. The way in which he managed Mbappé’s breaks last season and the ‘Dembélé Case’ have reinforced his position in the eyes of the fans and the board. PSG has surrendered to the skills of Luis Enrique. And that the group formed by the Spaniard is capable of winning the long-awaited Champions League.
Both parties were condemned to understand each other, since Luis Enrique has reiterated, since he arrived in Paris in 2023, that he was delighted at PSG, while the club decided to give him the reins of the project to forge a team in which the collective prevails over individualities. With the departure of Mbappé, in June, the Galacticos project started in 2011 by Qatar was already history. The star was from now on the coach.
Without external pressure to win the Champions League, The great objective that Luis Enrique sees is to make his PSG even more similar to his idea of the game. So far, in two seasons he has managed to get all the players rowing in unison and imbibing the Asturian coach’s one-touch style of play. Its renewal, for two seasons, is confirmation that, finally, after many years of longing for it, Paris Saint-Germain has a coherent project.
