Where Will Luis Enrique Coach After Paris Saint-Germain? | OneFootball

It has been a flawless chapter at Paris Saint-Germain for Luis Enrique Martínez García. After guiding Les Parisiens to a domestic treble in his first season in charge, Enrique did one better by leading them to a maiden UEFA Champions League title following the exit of Kylian Mbappé, as well as spearheading them to a FIFA Club World Cup Final.
