Ligue1 side, Paris Saint Germain, on Wednesday announced the appointment of Luis Enrique as its new manager.

The 53-year-old, who had since been dismissed as Spain coach last December, takes over from Christophe Galtier after his departure from the club was confirmed earlier in the day.

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.”

The 53-year-old’s last club job was with Barcelona, where he won the treble in 2015.

PSG’s form, however, slumped after the World Cup with 10 defeats in 28 games.

They were dumped out of the Champions League by Bayern Munich in the last 16, while they also suffered a last-16 defeat to rivals Marseille in the French Cup.
