Barcelona manager Luis Enrique has confirmed that he will step down from his position with the Catalan giants at the end of the season.
The 46-year-old has come under pressure over the course of the current campaign for what some fans see as sub-par results, with things coming to a head during last month's 4-0 Champions League thrashing at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain.

Speaking after his side dispatched Sporting Gijon 6-1 on Wednesday, he said:"The way I do this job is why I have to leave. There are very few hours to rest. I need to rest."
Enrique has won almost everything there is to win during his three years at the club, with two Spanish titles, two Copas del Rey, a Champions League trophy, Club World Cup and both the Spanish and European Super Cups.
