Discipline has undeniably stood as a cornerstone in Luis Enrique’s coaching philosophy.

The Asturian coach consistently positions himself as a guardian of order within the team, firmly believing that distractions can significantly impact the team’s overall performance.

This commitment to discipline extends even to his tenure at PSG, where he has gone so far as to employ staff to monitor players’ nightlife and other related matters.

As reported by L’Équipe, the former Spanish national team coach implemented an initial measure at PSG, requiring all players, without exception, to sign in upon entering the Poissy sports complex.

Adherence to training schedules and unwavering commitment were non-negotiable principles aimed at pushing the Parisian team towards excellence. This commitment to structure is equally mirrored off the field.

From the onset of the preseason, as emphasized by L’Équipe, Luis Enrique delegated the task of tracking major nightclubs in Paris to an assistant, ensuring compliance with team rules and addressing potential partying by PSG players.

This appointed staff member also maintains vigilance over players’ social media to prevent disruptions or distractions from affecting their daily performance. While these measures are stringent, the Gijón-born coach firmly stands by their necessity.

It’s crucial to note that Luis Enrique’s imposition of such rules doesn’t imply an outright prohibition of moderate celebrations among players, as long as these activities don’t compromise their professional conduct.

During the summer, the former Barcelona coach explicitly communicated to Verratti and Neymar that they were not part of his plans, a decision perceived as a response to their frequent nocturnal escapades, which were seen as potential impediments to peak performance.

A notable aspect of his internal management style is the prioritization of the collective over individual considerations.

Luis Enrique refrains from publicly humiliating or singling out players and consistently defends the entire squad during press conferences, irrespective of their current form.
