00:00 of one of the most recognizable football clubs in the world.
00:02 Luis Enrique was announced Paris Saint-Germain's coach on a two-year deal
00:07 after being sacked by Spain last December.
00:09 "First of all, I want to thank the club, the owners, the president and the sporting director
00:19 for putting their trust in me. I hope I can honour that trust by winning some major trophies."
00:28 Enrique takes over from Christophe Gaultier, who was sacked after only one season in charge.
00:33 Gaultier led PSG to a league title, which they won by one point, but that success was
00:38 overshadowed by the team's exit from the Champions League.
00:41 The club's president has insisted that under Enrique, things would be different.
00:45 "It's a new cycle, a new way of playing, a new style of play. We have one of the best coaches
00:57 in the world, not because of what he has won, but because of his new offensive style of play."
01:04 But big questions remain about the future of PSG's star striker, Kylian Mbappe.
01:13 PSG says the French captain must sign a new contract if he wants to remain at the club
01:17 next season. His contract expires next year, which means that if he doesn't extend right now,
01:22 PSG would have to sell him or risk losing their most valuable asset for nothing.
