PSG close to appointing Luis Enrique as next head coach

The Spanish coach looks set to join the Ligue 1 giants

This week, Luis Enrique is set to be introduced as the club's new boss of Paris Saint-Germain succeeding Christophe Galtier.

A two-year contract with the former Spain and Barcelona manager is anticipated ahead of a pivotal year in the club's recent history.

Enrique, who was fired by the Spanish national team in December following their unsuccessful World Cup campaign, will attempt to reconcile a shattered locker room that is suffering from a number of morale-damaging disclosures.

Lionel Messi poked fun at the club in his farewell letters, Kylian Mbappe announced his decision to reject a contract extension and depart on a free transfer, and Achraf Hakimi has expressed interest in leaving due to claims of general unrest.

Despite leading the team to a record 11th Ligue 1 championship last season, manager Galtier has had a miserable year in command.

Le Parisien claims that Enrique will take over as manager of the Parc des Princes club as soon as this Sunday outcome.

Prior to that, the former Barcelona and Real Madrid attacker guided the Catalans to their first Champions League victory after Pep Guardiola in 2015, when they won the Triple Crown.

The formidable combination of Luis Suarez, Lionel Messi, and Neymar served as the backbone of Enrique's side, and they will team up once again in Paris.

In the subsequent summertime of 2017, when Enrique resigned as the manager of Barcelona, he joined Spain before getting fired and now he will take charge of PSG, who are in a state of dilemma.
