Luis Enrique Begins Fourth Season at PSG and Declares His Love for the Club

Luis Enrique has begun his fourth consecutive season on the Paris Saint-Germain bench, a first in a coaching career that has already taken him to FC Barcelona and the Spanish national team. In an interview with club media, the Spanish manager shared his thoughts on what he describes as an extraordinary adventure.

“This is the first time in my coaching career that a story has lasted this long,” he said. “It’s not easy to stay two, three or four years at a club. You’re constantly connected, always preoccupied with preparing the team and everything that matters to it.”

Arriving in Paris in 2023 to succeed Christophe Galtier, Enrique led PSG to its first Ligue des Champions title in 2025, followed by a second European crown the following year. He explains that the pressure inherent to the club, far from wearing him down, has taken a different form than what he experienced elsewhere. “There’s always the fear of losing, of not performing. That’s what’s difficult for me to manage as a coach, and that’s why it’s complicated to stay at the same place for long. But Paris is different, Paris is special. What we experienced here from the first days was very particular for me.”

The manager also emphasized the quality of his relationship with the club’s leadership and staff, before discussing the emotional bond he has forged with the Paris supporters. “This is the first time I’ve experienced something like this, and my reaction was: ‘wow!’” He notably mentioned a banner deployed by supporters in tribute to his late daughter, as well as the atmosphere surrounding the Ligue des Champions final. “The supporters have always shown me great respect, including on a personal level, and that means enormously to me.”

This unprecedented longevity for Luis Enrique illustrates a rare balance between sporting ambition and human stability, two factors the manager presents as inseparable in his decision to continue the Paris adventure.
