Former Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Leonardo revealed that he invited Enrique to coach in 2012.

Leonardo accepted an interview with the French media RMC. He talked about the two famous coaches he had worked with, Ancelotti and Enrique. Leonardo said: "I worked with Ancelotti for 6 years at Milan and Paris Saint-Germain, and I was coached by him as a player for 3 months. We spent 10 years together. And Enrique, I can tell you an exclusive News, we contacted him in 2012! I talked to Enrique about coaching Paris Saint-Germain, but he was unable to take over the team at that time."

In early 2012, Ancelotti became the head coach of Paris Saint-Germain. Afterwards, Ancelotti led the team to win the Ligue 1 championship in the 2012-13 season. It was Paris Saint-Germain's first Ligue 1 championship since 1994, and started the team's path to dominance in Ligue 1. Enrique coached Roma in the 2011-12 season, and then he took a year off. Enrique subsequently coached Celta Vigo, Barcelona, ​​and the Spanish national team until 2023 when he became the head coach of Paris Saint-Germain.
