FC Barcelona manager to step down at end of season




  

   FC Barcelona manager Luis Enrique has confirmed he would step down at the end of the season.

  The 46-year-old, in his third season in charge of Barca, was speaking after their 6-1 win over Sporting Gijon yesterday.
  He won the Champions League as part of the treble in his first year, and led them to a domestic double last season.
Barca’s win over Sporting took them to the top of La Liga, a point above Real Madrid.
   Real Madrid had forced a 3-3 draw away to Las Palmas in a late Wednesday night fixture, but they still have a game in hand.
Former Spain midfielder Enrique played for FC Barcelona between 1996 and his retirement from playing in 2004.
   He then coached their B team from 2008 to 2011, returning to the club as first-team boss after spells managing Roma and Celta Vigo.
