Luis Enrique

Former Barelona and Spain manager Luis Enrique Martinez is on his way to the English capital to discuss terms with Chelsea. After Graham Potter was sacked ...

The eight-day mountain bike stage race, which covers more than 400 miles, is just one of many endurance feats the Champions League winning manager has tackled.
