PSG coaches

PSG's head coach is Luis Enrique Martínez García, commonly known as Luis Enrique. He is a Spanish football manager and former player.

The team's management appointed the former Barcelona and Spain coach as its new manager in early July 2023. Enrique is on a two-year contract after PSG parted ways with Christophe Galtier.

Rafel Pol is the team's 1st assistant coach, while Aitor Unzué is the second assistant coach. Pedro Gómez is the fitness coach, and Alberto Piernas is the assistant fitness coach. Borja Álvarez is the goalkeeping coach, and Jean-Luc Aubert is his assistant.

Owners

PSG is owned by Qatar Sports Investments, a Doha-based closed shareholding organisation founded in 2005. Nasser Al-Khelaifi is the team's president, and Victoriano Melero is the secretary-general.

PSG's stadium

The Parc des Princes is PSG's stadium in Paris, France. The all-seated football stadium has a capacity of 47,929 seats.

The Parc des Princes hosts matches of the Championnat de France when PSG plays at home. It also hosts European Cup matches. Sometimes, concerts by top French and international artists are held there.

Sponsors and team kits

Paris Saint-Germain's official sponsor is Nike. The team announced a long-term contract extension with Nike in 2019. The French team will work with the American brand until 2032.

The team's 2023/24 home jersey was launched in late May 2023. Its classic Parisian design embodies the unique spirit of the French capital. The iconic jersey reinterprets a shirt worn by Parisian players in the early 2000s.

The new kit has red and white stripes that gradually blend into a dynamic blue, reminiscent of the lights blending into the Parisian skyline. It was developed using Nike's Dri-FIT ADV technology which will keep players dry throughout the game because it is breathable and cool.

GOAT is the team's official sleeve partner. The GOAT brand is displayed on all of the club’s performance kits, including training, warm-up and match apparel since the partnership began.

On the other hand, Qatar Airways has been the Official Airline Partner of Paris Saint-Germain since 2020. The team plays an important role in Qatar Airways’ extensive sponsorship portfolio.
