PSG: Luis Enrique and his 28 assistants

Luis Enrique, the Spanish coach of Paris Saint-Germain, has nearly thirty people on his staff.

A Spanish trainer at the head of a Mexican army? In any case, we can speak of a real small armada around Luis Enrique. The PSG coach is well supported in his daily work in the capital club. The coach of the French champions can count on around thirty people to make the most of the potential of the capital’s club’s rich squad.

Let’s start with the “close guard” of the 54-year-old Spanish technician. The former coach of FC Barcelona and the Spanish national team, in particular, relies on two assistant coaches: Rafel Pol Cabanellas and Guillem Hernandez Folguera, to whom we add two coaches in charge of goalkeepers, two physical trainers, a psychologist and four video analysts.

Two French people in the position of “Team manager”

The PSG website also lists in the “staff” tab, a “Team manager”, Dorian Godard, and a “Deputy team manager”, Jocelyn Gabriel, without further details on the function. And then arrive the members of the “performance” team: a nutrition manager, a nutritionist and two sports scientists “using scientific data to improve performance.

A mandatory department of staff, the Parisian medical service has 11 elements: two doctors, a medical assistant, a podiatrist, an osteopath and 6 physiotherapists. Just that. In total, there are 28 to support Luis Enrique this season at Paris Saint-Germain.
