Sergio Busquets has spent nearly two decades orchestrating play from midfield and is now beginning to envision doing the same from the sideline.
The legendary Spaniard is nearing the end of his decorated playing career after recently announcing that he will retire with Inter Miami at the end of the Major League Soccer season.
Questions have naturally been raised about what's next for the cerebral 37-year-old World Cup winner, but he answered some of them on Saturday by revealing that coaching is eventually in his plans.
"I think in the future I would [like to manage], yes," Busquets told FourFourTwo. "But for now, I'd like to take a sabbatical.
"Its been many years without almost any weekends off like any footballer but obviously playing for the national team means having even less time, despite it offering you something extra.
"I want to enjoy some downtime with my family, have time for them and for myself. I want to spend time with my children, watch them grow, travel more, be with my wife, and watch football from a different perspective.
I asked Sergio Busquets if he wants to coach after his career ends and the Spanish midfielder said eventually he does:I think in the future I would, but for now Id like to take a sabbatical. Its been a lot of years of having almost no weekends.#InterMiamiCF #Messi
