Always as direct, Luis Enrique recently made an impression during an interview with the Catalan channel 3Cat, looking back on his past at FC Barcelona and his time at Real Madrid as a player. With his usual sense of humor, the current PSG coach raised the idea of one day managing the Merengues, which a certain Kylian Mbappé joined last summer.
“I don’t think there is anyone in history who has been a player and coach of Barça and Madrid… So I can break a record. I’m joking, I’m joking”, he confided, smiling. He also shared one of his most memorable memories of a Clasico, that of Luis Figo’s return to the Camp Nou in the Madrid jersey: “That day, there was an energy that was scary. Figo, despite the pressure, was their best player. But we won, it was impossible to lose with this atmosphere. »
A future in Madrid? Not right away
Although he jokes about a hypothetical arrival at Real Madrid, Luis Enrique is firmly anchored in Paris. His contract with PSG should soon be extended, according to several sources. In office since the summer of 2023, the Spaniard seems satisfied with his adventure in Ligue 1, but his statements revive the idea of future surprises in his career.
