Luis Enrique reveals Chelsea rejection story before PSG success

According to Caught Offside, Luis Enrique experienced rejection from Chelsea when applying as head coach candidate two years ago.

The Spanish coach flew to London to present his ideas to The Blues management who were looking for Frank Lampard’s replacement. However, club owner Todd Boehly disagreed with several points presented by the former Barcelona coach.

Chelsea ultimately chose Mauricio Pochettino as head coach — a decision that now appears misguided as the club replaced him with Enzo Maresca.

Meanwhile, Luis Enrique has achieved success with PSG after replacing Christophe Galtier in the summer two years ago. The 55-year-old coach has proven that Chelsea’s rejection became a blessing in disguise for his career.
