Sergio Busquets retires and Pep Guardiola has already made it clear what his new job would be

The news of the day in the world of soccer is Sergio Busquets's retirement. The Inter Miami midfielder, and an undisputed legend of FC Barcelona, has announced that he will hang up his boots at the end of the current MLS season. One of the most influential footballers in recent history is saying goodbye, and he is surely the best in his position.

His career began at FC Barcelona under Pep Guardiola, when the Catalan coach put his trust in him in 2008 after he stood out in the reserve team. From that moment on, Sergio Busquets established himself as a pillar in the midfield of a Barça team that defined an era. That team couldn't be understood without his reading of the game, tactical ability, and composure on the ball.

Sergio Busquets has won everything

At Camp Nou, he won every possible title. Nine La Liga titles, seven Copa del Rey trophies, and seven Spanish Super Cups prove that he is one of the most decorated players domestically. On the international stage, he added three Champions League titles and three UEFA Super Cups, earning everyone's respect.

With the Spanish national team, he also experienced historic moments. Sergio Busquets was World Champion in South Africa 2010 and European Champion in 2012, being an essential part of La Roja's best era. His leadership in major tournaments made him a reference for several generations.

Beyond the titles, Sergio Busquets leaves with a unique legacy. His style redefined the defensive midfielder position, giving it an unprecedented strategic and creative dimension. His soccer, based on intelligence and anticipation, places him among the greatest of all time.

Pep Guardiola already warned Sergio Busquets about his future

The announcement of his retirement now opens a new chapter. Sergio Busquets has confirmed that he will leave after finishing the season with Inter Miami. The question is what direction his professional life will take from that moment on.

However, if we recall the words of Pep Guardiola in the farewell video that Barça dedicated to him, everything seems to point to the benches. That day, the Manchester City coach told him: "One day we'll see each other on the benches". A phrase full of trust and respect for his former player.

Pep Guardiola has always seen in Sergio Busquets a privileged mind for understanding soccer. What he executed on the field with ease, he could now transfer from the technical area. His experience and vision of the game are an indisputable guarantee.

We will see what decision he makes in the coming months. What is clear is that Sergio Busquets has the blessing of the best coach in the world to follow in his footsteps. If he becomes a coach, he will do so with the same elegance and reliability he showed as a footballer.
