Luis Enrique, Hakimi extend PSG contracts
Coach Luis Enrique has signed a two-year extension to his deal with Paris Saint-Germain, while a handful of players including Moroccan star Achraf Hakimi have also extended their contracts in the French capital, the Ligue 1 leaders announced on Friday.
Former Barcelona and Spain coach Luis Enrique arrived in Paris in July 2023 on a two-year deal and will now stay at the club until 2027.
"I think we have an incredible future ahead of us and I hope we have lots of success with the club," Luis Enrique said in a club statement.
His contract extension had been something of an open secret for months, and comes just ahead of PSG's Champions League knockout phase play-off tie against French rivals Brest, the first leg of which takes place next Tuesday.
The Spaniard led PSG to a domestic league and cup double last season while also taking them to the Champions League semi-finals.
They are currently well clear at the top of Ligue 1 and are through to the quarter-finals of this season's French Cup.
Luis Enrique was paraded to the crowd at the Parc des Princes crowd on Friday ahead of PSG's Ligue 1 match against Monaco, along with Hakimi, Vitinha and Nuno Mendes.
Hakimi, 26, has prolonged his contract by three years, meaning the former Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund and Inter Milan right-back is tied to the French champions until 2029.
Portuguese international duo Vitinha and Mendes have also signed new deals until 2029, while 18-year-old full-back Yoram Zague has penned a new contract to stay at the Parc des Princes until 2028.
