Luis Enrique, former Spain national team coach and now at PSG, blamed Fabian Ruiz for a long time. Here’s why.
Luis Enrique now admires Fabian Ruiz at PSG. But things weren’t always smooth between them. When Enrique was Spain’s coach, he suspected the PSG player of leaking the team’s lineup during Euro 2021, which led to a breakdown in their professional relationship.
After suspecting Ruiz of being behind this leak, Luis Enrique decided to stop calling him up for the national team until his departure after the 2022 World Cup, despite the lack of conclusive evidence.
It wasn’t until Luis de la Fuente took over that Ruiz regained his place in the national team, even contributing to Spain’s victory at Euro 2024. However, their relationship has improved at PSG, where Luis Enrique has moved on from the past, integrating Ruiz as an important player in the squad.
