PSG appoint Luis Enrique as new head coach after Galtier sacking

Paris Saint-Germain have announced the appointment of Luis Enrique as the club's new head coach.

The French champions have handed the Spaniard a two-year deal to take over at Parc des Princes following the sacking of Christophe Galtier, whose exit was confirmed on Wednesday morning.

Speaking to the club's official website, he said: "I'm delighted to be joining Paris in order to enjoy a new experience.

"It's so exciting to meet new people, to live in this city, to learn a new language and, above all, to manage PSG."

Luis Enrique was on the shortlist for Chelsea and Tottenham's recent managerial vacancies and had been out of work since leaving Spain in December following their last-16 elimination from the World Cup against Morocco in Qatar.
