The Spanish tactician has achieved remarkable success with Paris Saint-Germain, impressing observers with his team’s exceptional play style. His reputation as a former FC Barcelona coach has won universal admiration.

Coaches in awe of his brilliance

Several coaches have expressed admiration for him, including former OGC Nice coach Francesco Farioli. Reflecting on one of their past encounters, the Italian coach shared how Enrique’s insights during a match left him astounded.

“He stunned me. Once, in Paris, we had a set piece. I called for a system we had tried once during a summer friendly. He recognized the initial movements, jumped from the bench, and warned his players: ‘They’re doing the thing I showed you!’. It was incredible that he remembered from just one friendly,” Farioli revealed.
