Paris Saint-Germain is reportedly considering offering head coach Luis Enrique an unprecedented "lifetime contract". The news, broken by Spanish media, indicates that the Parisian club's management is exceptionally pleased with Enrique's performance and is looking to secure his services for the long term. While his current agreement was already extended in February until 2027, the potential lifetime deal signifies a new level of commitment.
The decision comes after a historic season for PSG, highlighted by capturing six major trophies, including their first Champions League title, Ligue 1, and the UEFA Super Cup. Enrique also guided PSG to victory in the Intercontinental Cup against Flamengo, completing a record of seven trophies for the year. Though his first season was considered relatively ordinary, Enrique significantly raised the level in the 2024/25 edition, where the pinnacle of achievements was the Champions League win.
The club's administration views Enrique as a key figure in PSG's long-term project, confident in his ability to maintain the club's dominance in Europe. They believe securing Enrique's future will provide sporting stability and reinforce a winning culture within the club.
While reports suggest this would be a historic first in football management, some sources indicate that no official confirmation of a lifetime deal has been made. Historically, football has not offered lifetime contracts to managers in the modern era. Even legendary managers like Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger stayed for decades through repeated renewals, not open-ended agreements. Lifetime-style deals have occurred occasionally for players, but not coaches.
