Luis Enrique: The future of Atlético after Simeone?
The name of Luis Enrique is once again making waves in Atlético circles. After his recent success at the helm of PSG, where he conquered the Champions League with a footballing exhibition, the Asturian coach is consolidating his position as an attractive option for the Metropolitano bench in the future.
The Atlético de Madrid board, with Miguel Ángel Gil Marín at the helm, has always seen Luis Enrique as an ideal profile to lead the team, recognizing his intense playing philosophy and his ability to get the most out of his players.
Luis Enrique himself has admitted past contacts with the club, although at the time he preferred to commit to other projects. However, the idea of coaching Atlético has never completely disappeared.
The Colchoneros are considering different options for the future, including betting on coaches trained in the youth academy, such as Fernando Torres or Filipe Luis, who are excelling in their respective teams. However, the figure of Luis Enrique remains a highly valued alternative.
His successful time at Barcelona, where he achieved a historic treble, and his experience at the head of the Spanish national team endorse his career. Although Simeone has a contract until 2027, the possible arrival of Luis Enrique at the Metropolitano from that date onwards is seen as an interesting scenario for the future of the club. The Rojiblancos fans dream of an exciting project and the figure of the Asturian coach could be the key to giving the team a new impetus.
