Coach Luis Enrique unconcerned by PSG’s poor start to French league season

Two points from three matches is their worst start since the 2007-08 season, when PSG came close to relegation.

Paris Saint-Germain's head coach Luis Enrique has signed a three-year contract extension, lasting until 2030, the Ligue 1 champions announced. Enrique's previous deal was set to expire at the end of the current season. The Spaniard, 56, was appointed to lead the club to their first European Cup since 1996. His new contract comes ahead of PSG's match against Monaco at the Parc des Princes.

Additionally, five players - Joao Neves, Fabian Ruiz, Willian Pacho, Lucas Beraldo, and Senny Mayulu - have also extended their contracts until 2031. PSG president Nasser al-Khelaifi praised the move, stating they are aiming to build for the long term and remain true to their values. Enrique, joining the club as a Champions League winner, expressed his motivation and happiness, stating he is more motivated than he was in his first year at PSG.

Despite the extension, PSG lost the match to Monaco 2-1, leaving them winless in their first three Ligue 1 games this season.
