Barcelona’s trusty midfielder Sergio Busquets is one of those who have thrived since the arrival of Xavi Hernandez as coach. But even though he’s playing for a winning team again, he knows that the end of his playing career is approaching – and he’d like to try new things.The next season will likely be Sergio’s last with the club he’s been with since 2005.”When my contract ends, maybe the club and the coach would still want me, but I think it’s time to leave. If I go to another club, I would not be European because I couldn’t play against Barca. Maybe I should choose to play on another continent.”Sunday, 22.00: (1.53) Barcelona (4.10) Sevilla (6.50)Speaking to RAC1, Busquets admits that he’s got his sights on a career in coaching. After learning from some of the best coaches in the game, he thinks that he would be successful in that role.”I see myself coaching. When I finish my career I will get my coaching licence. I am aware that I can do well. I’ve learned a lot from my coaches and I think my position on the pitch forces me to be a little bit like that.”🗣️ Sergio Busquets: “I want to be a manager when I retire. I’m going to get the coaching badges soon. And I’ll try my best. I had a lot of good managers in my career.”💙❤️ pic.twitter.com/jpfemoPKYp— football news carrier 📡 (@1_sodiq) March 30, 2022 Before he has a go with the next generation of players, Busquets still has to do the job on the pitch. This season, Barcelona are still in contention for at least one trophy.”I think we are closer to the Europa League. In La Liga, Real Madrid should drop many points to give us a chance to catch them, so it’s not all up to us. But we will try until the end.”‘We’re not considering Messi’s return’Looking beyond, Barcelona need to sign more quality players to compete for the biggest prizes. They’re still to plug the Lionel Messi-shaped hole in their team.”If the finances allow it, some special player should come. We need someone to make a difference.”
