Paris: Paris Saint-Germain announced the extension of the contract of coach Luis Enrique until 2027, as well as its players, Achraf Hakimi (2029), Vitinia (2029), Nuno Mendic (2029) and Yoram Zag (2028).
Ibrahim Mbaye and Nawfal Al Hanash also signed their first professional contract until 2027.
Former Barcelona and Spain coach Luis Enrique arrived in Paris in July 2023 on a two-year deal and will now stay at the club until 2027.
“I think we have an incredible future ahead of us and I hope we have lots of success with the club,” Luis Enrique said in a club statement.
PSG Chairman Nasser Al Khelaifi said: “We are delighted to announce the contract extension of our coach Luis Enrique and six great players who continue to build their future at Paris Saint-Germain. Achraf Hakimi, Nuno Mendic, Vitinia and Yiram Zag contribute a lot to our club. We are very proud that our academy has produced the wonderful young players Ibrahim Mbaye and Nawfal Al Hanash who turned professionals.”
“These announcements are new examples of the strong and long-term foundations that we have created at PSG based on the development of the best talent, who believe in the project, who fight for the shirt, who put the collective aspect above all else.”
“I am especially grateful to our coach, Luis Enrique, who has contributed to the improvement of the club and made it develop on a cultural level in such a short time.. We can be very excited about the future of PSG.”
The Spaniard led PSG to a domestic league and cup double last season while also taking them to the Champions League semi-finals.
They are currently well clear at the top of Ligue 1 and are through to the quarter-finals of this season’s French Cup.
