Since iconic figures like Kylian Mbappé, Lionel Messi and Neymar left the ship, Luis Enrique has become an essential figure at Paris Saint-Germain. His management of the team and his results on the domestic scene have earned him much praise. But this sudden rise is not without concern for the managers, who wish to avoid the Spanish coach being perceived as the star of the project.
Luis Enrique in the spotlight
Recently, President Nasser Al-Khelaïi wanted to clarify the situation by declaring: “Luis Enrique is an exceptional coach, the best in the world. We have confidence in him to carry out a long-term project. » However, according to what Le Parisien reports, the club seems to be working to limit this perception, preferring to put forward a collective vision.
Well-orchestrated communication
To respond to this problem, PSG is planning a strategic announcement this Sunday, during the match against Olympique Lyonnais. This initiative will include the extension of several major players, including Achraf Hakimi, Vitinha, and probably Nuno Mendes. The goal is clear: to reinforce the idea of a united collective, rather than highlighting a single personality.
Luis Enrique starts to bother at PSG
Furthermore, it is already established that Luis Enrique will continue the adventure with PSG beyond this season, with a contract extended until 2027. However, negotiations concerning Luis Campos, sports advisor of the club, remain pending.
A strong signal for the future of the club
This collective staging is a central element of the Parisian strategy. After years marked by the cult of individualities, management wishes to prove that the new era is based on a strong collective identity. However, finding the balance between highlighting a charismatic coach and preserving the unity of the group remains a major challenge. Sunday evening, the match against Lyon could mark a turning point in the way PSG communicates about its project.
