  • Enrique, who joined in 2023, has already led PSG to 12 trophies, including two Champions League titles, with his current contract running until 2027.

Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi has strongly suggested that coach Luis Enrique is on the verge of extending his contract with the club. Speaking in an interview on Monday, Al-Khelaïfi described Enrique as the "best coach in the world" and expressed his satisfaction with the Spaniard's tenure.

"The coach is very happy with us, in Paris, he is proud to be Parisian. We are proud of him. He is the best coach in the world, we are happy with him, proud of him. You understand what that means," Al-Khelaïfi said with a smile, hinting at an imminent agreement.

Enrique joined PSG in 2023 and has already achieved significant success, securing 12 trophies for the club. This impressive haul includes two Champions League titles, making him the most decorated coach in PSG's history. His current contract is set to expire in 2027.

While Al-Khelaïfi did not explicitly confirm a new deal, his comments at Roland-Garros, just days after PSG's Champions League final victory over Arsenal, indicate a strong desire from the club to retain their successful manager. The potential extension would likely see Enrique commit to PSG until 2030, according to various reports.

The coach is very happy with us, in Paris, he is proud to be Parisian. We are proud of him. He is the best coach in the world, we are happy with him, proud of him. You understand what that means.
