Barcelona coach Luis Enrique will take a year-long sabbatical after departing the Liga giants at the end of the season.
The 46-year-old's decision to step away from football for a year follows in the footsteps of Manchester City's Pep Guardiola, who took a season off after leaving Barca, before taking over at Bayern Munich.
"If I'm leaving Barcelona, my home, where I have a great relationship with the club and the players, it's purely for tiredness," he said ahead of Wednesday's La Liga clash with Sevilla.
Barcelona are second in the table, two points behind rivals Real Madrid, while they face Juventus in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, with the club yet to announce who will take over from Luis Enrique next season.
