French coach Denis Lavagne has highlighted the vital contribution of sporting director Luis Campos to Paris Saint-Germain’s success in the 2024-2025 season, especially in the UEFA Champions League and the 2025 Club World Cup.
I think he has a great understanding with Luis Enrique, and together they’ve managed to select young players with significant room for improvement, perfectly fitting Luis Enrique’s vision.That is to say, a highly collective, intense style of play, with aggressive high pressing and rapid ball recovery after losing possession—a truly relentless counter-pressing approach. They’ve been able to identify players who match this philosophy. So yes, his role is crucial, but football is always about the collective. I believe Paris has made the right call by changing its approach, moving away from a superstar-focused policy. Campos has brought in the exact player profiles Luis Enrique wanted.
PSG’s strategic advisor has worked with several clubs, including AS Monaco, LOSC, Galatasaray, Gil Vicente, Beira-Mar, and others.
