Barcelona On a Silent Search For Enrique's Replacement

Barcelona president, Joseph Maria Bartomeu, has said that their search for a new manager has begun, after Luis Enrique made it known that he will not be in the club the next season.

Enrique will end his three-year stint with the La Liga side in June, after winning eight trophies so far.

Bartomeu released a statement that, “We will work with discretion, but we will work on it,” 

“There are important games coming up and we will try to work quietly.”

He also praised Luis Enrique for his effort and success in the team

“In the summer he communicated to Albert Soler and Robert Fernandez that this could be his last year and the other day he told us that he wouldn’t continue and decided this was the ideal moment to reveal his decision.

“Now we have to focus on the next three months, but Luis Enrique will leave in the summer and we’ve had a super manager for these last three seasons.

“It’s a sad situation because he’s a good coach who has given us success. The players are [still] motivated, as we’ve seen. There are three competitions and tomorrow there’s training. We have to keep working until the end of June.”
