While many expected that Luis Enrique would not be Barcelona manager beyond the end of this season, his announcement on Wednesday came as a surprise.

Following Barcelona’s 6-1 win over Sporting Gijon, Enrique announced that he will be stepping down once the season is over.

The former Barcelona player, who took over the reins at the Camp Nou in 2014, won the Treble in his first season and a league-and-cup double in his second season, but Barcelona have dipped during his third season, culminating in the shocking 4-0 defeat to Paris Saint Germain in the Champions League last month.

That loss was considered to be the final straw, but in reality Enrique had been contemplating an exit since before the season began.
