Former Barcelona tactician Luis Enrique has been appointed as Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) Manager.
This France club giant made this known via its website.
The 53-year-old replaces Christophe Galtier, who departed after one season in Paris.
Enrique Records
Enrique left his role as Spain head coach after they were knocked out of the World Cup in the round of 16 following a shock loss to Morocco.
The former Barcelona boss has been linked with numerous jobs since his Spain departure, including the vacancy at Chelsea, before Mauricio Pochettino was appointed at Stamford Bridge.
He also represented Barcelona as a player for eight years following a five-year stint at Real Madrid and became boss of the former between 2014 and 2018 after spells at AS Roma and Celta Vigo.
Enrique led Barcelona to two La Liga titles including one as part of the treble with the Champions League and Copa del Rey during his first year in charge.
Ancelotti Switch
Meanwhile, Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has been linked up to take over as Brazil’s coach for the Copa America in the United States next summer.
This was revealed by the Brazilian Football Confederation President Ednaldo Rodrigues while appointing an interim coach for the next 12 months in Fluminense boss Fernando Diniz.
Ancelotti has one more season on his contract with the Spanish team and the Copa America starts on June 20 in the States.
The Italian has never coached at international level but is one of the most decorated coaches in the modern day game, having won four Champions Leagues and league titles in each of Europe’s top five divisions at least once.
Brazil’s World Cup Plan
Diniz will take charge of Brazil’s 2026 World Cup qualifiers from September.
Brazil’s first match in World Cup qualifiers will be on September 7 against Bolivia in home soil.
They will also confront defending champion Argentina in November.
