PSG coach Luis Enrique faces tough challenge, with uncertainty over Mbappe and Neymar
Associated PressPARIS — Luis Enrique is the eighth coach to take charge of Paris Saint-Germain in 12 years of Qatari ownership of the French club, a hire-and-fire approach which has so far failed to deliver the ultimate goal of winning the Champions League. Club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi said Enrique’s arrival will mark the start of a new cycle and a better style of play, but such pledges at PSG are easier made than carried out. PSG has been linked with Eintracht Frankfurt forward Randal Kolo Muani, who is a very quick and highly skilled player but is still developing as a finisher with a career-best 15 league goals last season. Hugo Ekitike scored only three league goals in a disappointing first campaign with PSG last season and the club may look to sell the 21-year-old. But challenging for the elusive Champions League trophy could again be a step too far in Enrique’s first season, and that’s with or without Mbappe.
