Following his retirement, Luis Enrique transitioned into a managerial role. In 2008, he took charge of FC Barcelona B, the reserve team. Under his guidance, the team achieved promotion to the Segunda División, marking a promising start to his coaching career. After two seasons, he left to manage AS Roma in Italy for the 2011–12 season. Although his time in Rome was challenging, it helped further his development as a coach.
In 2013, Enrique returned to Spain and managed Celta de Vigo for one season. His work there caught attention, and in 2014, he was appointed head coach of FC Barcelona. During his tenure, the team enjoyed significant success. In his first season, Barcelona secured a historic treble—winning La Liga, Copa del Rey, and the UEFA Champions League. The club defeated Juventus 3–1 in the 2015 UEFA Champions League final.
While rumors circulated about a strained relationship with Lionel Messi early in his tenure, they resolved their differences, and the team flourished under Enrique's leadership. During his managerial stint at Barcelona from 2014 to 2017, he maintained a remarkable win rate of approximately 76%, one of the highest in the club's history, even surpassing Pep Guardiola's win percentage. He left the club in 2017 after winning nine trophies over three seasons.
Luis Enrique is married to Elena Cullell, and the couple has two children. Often mistakenly associated with the famous Spanish singer Enrique Iglesias due to their shared name, Luis Enrique has carved a distinct identity for himself in the football world—as both a formidable player and a successful coach.
As of recent years, he has remained an influential figure in football, including serving as head coach of the Spanish national team. His estimated net worth is around $40 million, reflecting his success both on and off the field.
