  • Paris Saint-Germain extended coach Luis Enrique’s contract through 2030 after he led the club to two consecutive Champions League titles.
  • PSG also extended the contracts of Joao Neves, Fabian Ruiz, Willian Pacho, Lucas Beraldo and Senny Mayulu, despite losing 2-1 to Monaco and remaining without a Ligue 1 win after three matches.
  • Luis Enrique said he felt more motivated than in his first season and hoped to remain up to the job.

Paris Saint-Germain have committed to Luis Enrique until 2030, extending the coach’s contract just before a Ligue 1 match against Monaco. The announcement came with five players also signing new deals, but the evening ended with a 2-1 defeat and PSG still without a league win after three matches.

They represent the present and the future of our club’s project.

· Nasser al-KhelaifiThe PSG president described the five players who also extended their contracts.

The Spanish coach’s previous contract was due to expire at the end of the season. PSG president Nasser al-Khelaifi said the club’s extended deals for Luis Enrique and the players reflected its long-term project. The club identified Joao Neves, Fabian Ruiz, Willian Pacho, Lucas Beraldo and Senny Mayulu as “the present and the future of our club’s project.”

Luis Enrique received a loud reception from home fans alongside the five Champions League winners. After the loss, he acknowledged that the result made it an awkward time to discuss his contract, but said the extension marked the first time in his career that he had stayed more than three years at one club.

Together, we’re aiming to build for the long term, to remain true to our values, and to continue writing a story that our supporters can be proud of.

· Nasser al-KhelaifiThe PSG president outlined the club’s long-term approach.

“It is not the best moment to talk about this but what I can say is that it is the first time in my career, and I am an old coach, in which I have stayed more than three years in the same club,” he said. “I am more motivated now than I was in my first year here, which is bizarre for me. I am very happy and I hope to be up to the job.”

· Luis EnriqueThe coach spoke after PSG lost to Monaco on the day of the contract announcement.

Luis Enrique took charge before the 2023-24 season after managing Barcelona and Spain. He led PSG to a 5-0 victory over Inter Milan in the 2025 Champions League final, then guided the club to a successful title defense against Arsenal on penalties in May. PSG have also won three Ligue 1 titles and two French Cups under him. Ruiz extended his deal through next season with an option for another year, while Neves, Beraldo, Pacho and Mayulu signed contracts through 2031.

I am more motivated now than I was in my first year here, which is bizarre for me. I am very happy and I hope to be up to the job.
