Following Live Cricket BPL, Paris Saint-Germain endured a rough season, falling short of expectations across all major competitions. Their Champions League campaign ended in disappointment once again, with an early exit in the knockout stages. In Ligue 1, they barely secured the title in the final few rounds, and they were knocked out of the Coupe de France by Marseille. With these underwhelming results, PSG wasted no time in making managerial changes — Christophe Galtier was dismissed after just one season in charge.

Following weeks of discussions and speculation, PSG officially appointed Luis Enrique, the former Spain national team manager, as their new head coach. This decision also marked the end of their long-standing links with Zinedine Zidane. Despite Zidane’s strong coaching credentials, PSG decided it was too risky to keep waiting for him while he held out for other major offers. Sometimes, people who seem compatible as leaders are better off as bystanders — perhaps Zidane and PSG were simply not meant to work together.

Luis Enrique signed a two-year deal, which, as Live Cricket BPL notes, reflects PSG’s more cautious strategy with coaching contracts. Rather than committing to long-term deals, they’ve opted for shorter terms that give them flexibility to cut ties without heavy financial penalties if things don’t work out. It’s a smart move in a club environment known for high expectations and low patience.

What excites many is that Enrique brings both tactical expertise and a fiery personality. He’s not one to be pushed around and certainly not someone likely to become a puppet to star players like Kylian Mbappé or the influential French core in the dressing room. In fact, PSG management has reportedly granted Enrique full authority to deal with Mbappé’s contract standoff, signaling a shift in power dynamics within the club.

Enrique’s coaching pedigree is impressive — he famously led Barcelona to a historic five-trophy season and maintains strong relationships with former players like Lionel Messi and Neymar. Interestingly, Neymar could benefit the most from Enrique’s arrival. A renewed partnership with a coach who understands his strengths might be just what the Brazilian forward needs to spark a resurgence.

Unfortunately for Messi, the timing didn’t align. Had he stayed at PSG one more season, he might have thrived under Enrique’s system instead of moving prematurely to Major League Soccer. But as life often teaches us, sometimes people leave not because they want to — but because staying no longer feels right. Better alone than settling for less.

Looking ahead, Live Cricket BPL believes PSG’s upcoming season could be one to watch. With new signings expected during the transfer window and Enrique’s leadership at the helm, the club may finally find the structure and intensity needed to compete seriously on all fronts.
