Since his arrival last summer on the PSG bench, opinions have differed on Luis Enrique. Considered by many as the right coach for Paris Saint-Germain, the Spanish technician is not necessarily unanimous. Criticized for certain decisions sometimes considered theatrical, the coldness of the former Barça coach, displayed on several occasions, also made certain followers of the capital club cringe.

Indeed, even if he won Euro 2024, Luis de la Fuente would no longer be in the odor of sanctity on the Iberian bench according to the Spanish press. To be continued…
