Paris Saint-Germain has reportedly secured their manager for the foreseeable future. After talks with Julian Nagelsmann fell apart, the French giants moved quickly and appear to be hiring Luis Enrique.
L’Equipe reported on Sunday the contract details as the Spanish manager will be committing long-term to the capital club. Enrique will sign a two-year contract with an option for a third.
Furthermore, the French media outlet notes that Enrique does not imagine his stay in Paris in a short-term vision. As a result, the former FC Barcelona manager wants his say in the transfer window.

Romano adds that the Spanish coach has already accepted the position; the discussions will enter their final phase in the next 24 to 48 hours. Additionally, Enrique could influence whether Neymar Jr. remains at PSG.
Enrique got the most out of the Brazilian, so he would be the logical manager to hire if the 31-year-old, who is under contract until 2025, doesn’t leave the French capital.
