Luis Enrique, who signed a two-year contract with PSG, was introduced as the club’s new manager earlier on Wednesday.

Enrique, 53, moved to Paris after spending seven months as a free agent after resigning as Spain’s head coach after his team was eliminated by Morocco in the World Cup 2022 in Qatar’s Round of 16.
