The manager of FC Barcelona Luis Enrique has announced his intentions of leaving the club at the end of the season, he revealed this during his press conference shortly after the team’s 6-1 win over Sporting Gijón on Wednesday.
The Asturian explained his decision: “During the pre-season, I had a
meeting Albert Soler and Robert Fernández and I informed them that there
was a chance of not renewing. They, on behalf of the Club, reassured me
that there was no pressure. That moment has now arrived and I announce
it to you”.
Minutes before making it public, the manager announced his decision
to the squad in the first team changing rooms of the Camp Nou. His
motives were “the way I have to live this profession with a relentless
search for solutions and to improve the team. This means very little
time to relax and disconnect. At the end of the season it would be good
for me to rest.”
A gracious thank you to the Club
Luis Enrique thanked the Club for his three years the club: "I would
like to thank the club for placing its trust in me throughout my career,
not just as a player but also as a coach. They were the first ones who
thought I had the chance to coach the reserves, which I did for three
years.
Later they decided I would be the coach for these three years,
which for me will be unforgettable.”
Thus, the Asturian will have completed three seasons with the club
when the campaign ends, in which time he has won eight out of a possible
ten titles, with three more still at stake.
"We have three exciting months left,” he said. “Three months in all
competitions. In one of them, of course, we are in a difficult
situation, but, with everyone's help, I am sure we will have an
opportunity to turn it around."
