For an executive like him, his downgrade could have been seen as a lack of respect, but no, Danilo Pereira does not hold a grudge against Luis Enrique. In an interview given to Parisianthe Portuguese showed class, as often, and he assured that he understood the Asturian’s choice to rely on profiles other than his own. According to him, Luis Enrique is even the right coach to lead PSG today.
“Yes, he is the right person (to lead this project). He has a very, very strong character and Paris needs people who will be listened to. Luis Enrique has ideas for advancing a project that lasts over time. It’s important that he has the support of the club and the supporters even if we don’t like his character (…) He’s a very good coach. He has very clear ideas. Sometimes it can seem like he doesn’t listen to people. He’s into his thing because he really believes in his work! He likes to keep the ball and tire the opponent. He is a coach who can bring a lot of experience. But it takes time, and in Paris, we lack it a little. People are in a hurry. In Paris, we tend to doubt a little. And there should be no doubt. A project does not last six months or a year. You have to have a long-term vision.”expressed the Portuguese.
