BARCELONA: Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez said that he felt “liberated” after announcing his decision to step down at the end of the season, adding that the pressure and demands of the job meant that he could not enjoy himself there.
“They make you feel that you are not valued in every moment here,” he told reporters ahead of Wednesday’s league game against Osasuna.
“It happened to all coaches. Pep (Guardiola) told me. Ernesto (Valverde) told me. As for Luis Enrique, I lived and saw it for myself,” he added. (Reuters)
