Luis Enrique has managed to rebuild his reputation quickly in his first season at Paris Saint-Germain.
With the French league title already in the bag, PSG now has a chance to win a historic treble of trophies — which would firmly re-establish Enrique as one of the top coaches in Europe after his image was tarnished by an unsuccessful spell with Spain.
PSG wrapped up the French league title with three games to spare this weekend, in one of the most dominant seasons in the league’s history.
The team is on a 26-game unbeaten streak in the league since September. With just one loss in 31 Ligue 1 matches so far, PSG has an unassailable 12-point lead over second-place Monaco.
“I wouldn’t have imagined this scenario going as positively as this,” the 53-year-old Enrique said.
The Spanish coach led Barcelona to nine trophies from 2014 to 2017, including the Champions League title, but his reputation took a big knock during his tenure with Spain’s national team. Spain had just one win in four games at the 2022 World Cup and was eliminated by Morocco in the last 16.
