Paris Saint-Germain’s manager, Luis Enrique, has now ascended to second place on the all-time list of UEFA Champions League winning coaches, following his side’s latest European success. Only one figure stands above him: Brazil’s national team boss, Carlo Ancelotti, who holds five titles.
PSG secured a dramatic victory over Arsenal in the Champions League final held in Budapest, clinching the trophy via a penalty shootout after a 1-1 stalemate across regular and extra time. This win marks Enrique’s third Champions League crown, having previously won the competition once with Barcelona and now twice with PSG.
The match saw Arsenal take an early lead through Kai Havertz in the first half, but PSG responded with an equalizer from Ousmane Dembele after the break. The deadlock persisted, leading to penalties, where Enrique’s squad prevailed.
Notably, Enrique also boasts the highest win percentage among managers with at least 50 Champions League matches, standing at an impressive 63.3%. This statistic further cements his status as one of the competition’s most effective tacticians.
