The Spanish coach has now joined the exclusive ranks of managers who have conquered the prestigious competition with two different teams. His remarkable achievement has not gone unnoticed.

On the show Rothen S’Enflamme, Christophe Dugarry, a 1998 World Cup winner, showered praise on Enrique. According to Dugarry, Enrique has solidified his place among the greatest coaches in football history.

PSG gears up for Botafogo clash

Paris Saint-Germain is set to play its second match in the Club World Cup. Scheduled for this Friday at 3 AM, the Parisians will face Botafogo with a straightforward aim: secure victory and book a spot in the last 16.

Despite a commanding 4-0 win against Atletico Madrid in their opening game, PSG remains focused. Luis Enrique urges caution against the Brazilian side, emphasizing the need for his team to fight for the three points.

“Playing against a high-level Brazilian team with such a legacy is exciting. They will surely present challenges different from European teams. It’s a grand challenge and a significant motivation. When facing a familiar opponent, it’s easier. We must be ready for any scenario. We train consistently, aiming to deliver the same performance every time, regardless of the opponent. That’s one of our strengths. It’s crucial to understand that everyone is eager to defeat us. We must be prepared,” Enrique told reporters.
