By leading PSG to back to back Champions League titles, Luis Enrique accomplished something only a handful of managers in football history can claim. For years, Paris Saint-Germain chased European greatness with some of the biggest names the sport had ever seen.

The club brought in Zlatan Ibrahimović. Then Neymar. Then Lionel Messi. Kylian Mbappé became the face of the project. Yet despite dominating French football and spending billions to build a global superteam, the UEFA Champions League remained frustratingly out of reach.

But that changed in 2025 And now, one year later, PSG has done something even bigger. By defeating Arsenal to win the 2026 UEFA Champions League final, Paris Saint-Germain became back to back European champions, cementing its place among the elite dynasties of modern football. The victory also made PSG one of the very few clubs in Champions League history to successfully defend the trophy. At the center of it all stands Luis Enrique.

Luis Enrique enters one of football’s most exclusive clubs

With PSG’s latest Champions League triumph, Luis Enrique strengthened a legacy that already placed him among the best coaches of his generation.

The Spanish manager previously won the Champions League with Barcelona in 2015, completing a historic treble alongside Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez and Neymar. Now, more than a decade later, he has repeated the achievement in Paris. That places him in a group reserved for football royalty.

Only a select number of managers have won the Champions League with multiple clubs, including Carlo Ancelotti, Pep Guardiola, José Mourinho, Ottmar Hitzfeld and Jupp Heynckes. Luis Enrique now belongs in that conversation.

Even more impressively, he has now won multiple Champions League titles while building two completely different projects separated by more than ten years.
