In L’Équipe, Arnaud Pouille, executive chairman of Stade Rennais, praised the work and, above all, the humanity of Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique (55). He describes a technician who is accessible, sincere and a rarity in the business, interviewed before a Ligue 1 match won 4-1 by Paris.
Pouille “There was no conventional wisdom”.
“We have to salute the work and humanity of Luis Enrique, one of the nicest coaches you’ll ever meet on the pitch. We had a chance to talk before our Championship match (4-1, March 8).
We talked frankly about Désiré Doué and their European Cup campaign. There was no conventional wisdom. I discovered a straightforward, simple guy. It’s rare in this business to be able to speak openly.»
Luis Enrique stands out for his human qualities, which are rare in modern soccer. Both close and demanding, he creates a climate of trust based on listening, openness and respect for the team.
His sincerity and humility enable him to unite a dressing room often marked by egos, by supporting his players in difficult moments. This human approach, combined with tactical rigor, is at the heart of Paris Saint-Germain’s current success.
