The Spanish coach is shaping up as a strong contender to steer Paris Saint-Germain next season, a name that keeps reappearing in discussions about the club’s future.
PSG remains a club full of uncertainties. Just after the season closes, the capital side sits on the verge of reclaiming the French title. With a single point needed on Saturday in Strasbourg, they could seal an eleventh league crown and then celebrate a week later at the Parc des Princes, while also laying the groundwork for a renewed relationship with their supporters.
During this window, PSG is actively plotting for the upcoming campaign, even though sporting director Luis Campos has already been mulling the summer plans for weeks. The tasks of recapturing the top players, integrating newcomers, and parting ways with unwanted assets dominate discussions as the squad is rebuilt for next season.
Among the many questions lingering in the wake of lifting the title is the decision on the coaching position. Christophe Galtier remains under contract for another year, but his future remains unsettled. A shortlist of potential successors has emerged, and among the candidates is Luis Enrique.
Nothing has been decided yet in Doha
The former Barcelona star and manager was dismissed after a disappointing World Cup campaign with Spain, exiting in the round of 16 against Morocco. He is keen to prove himself again at a top club and bring his proven track record to a team hungry for consistent success.
Enrique’s CV includes a Champions League triumph in 2015, which saw him mastermind a memorable run past Paris Saint-Germain in the quarterfinals and work with high-profile talents like Neymar. Beyond his trophy cabinet, his experience as both player and coach has equipped him to manage dressing rooms with big egos, a frequent reality at a club of PSG’s stature. His preferred style emphasizes possession and offensive fluency—a philosophy he has had to adjust in recent seasons but still aligns with the attacking identity PSG has long pursued.
If PSG wants to accelerate Enrique’s arrival, the club will likely need to act swiftly, as his name continues to surface in Italian leagues for Napoli in the next campaign. At this stage, no final decision has been reached in Doha.
