The Asturias coach has reportedly signed a contract extension that could see him stay with the Ligue 1 giants until 2027.
Luis Enrique's future on the Paris Saint-Germain bench could be decided by two games in January. The French team is ranked 25th in the table and will face Manchester City and Stuttgart in two decisive Champions League matches.
The aim for the French team is to secure a place in the play-offs (a place in the top 24), with premature elimination from Europe's top competition having major consequences for the Parisian team. Despite president Al Khelaïfi claiming he is 'delighted' with the Spaniard's work at the club, few believe his claims that no progress in the Champions League would have no impact on the Asturian's future in Paris.
Contract extension
PSG planned to announce Luis Enrique's contract extension for 2027 after the match against Atlético Madrid on November 6, but the home defeat against the colchoneros decided to postpone the announcement.
Luis Enrique's PSG are unstoppable in the French league, where they have a ten-point lead over the second-placed team, and they have also secured their passage to the next round of the French Cup by beating Lens after penalties, but in Europe his PSG has struggled in a competition that is still priority number one for the Qatari owners.
Preventing a UCL disaster
Despite claims from the club's top brass that they will not consider parting ways with Luis Enrique if they are eliminated early in the Champions League group stages, most agree that failure to make progress in the new format is not is just a simple failure. resources of the club, but a complete debacle.
The final two weeks of January will go some way to shaping Luis Enrique's future as they welcome City to Paris on the 22nd before ending their campaign in Stuttgart a week later.
