""I think in the future, yes [I'd want to be a coach], but for now I'd rather take a sabbatical," Busquets told reporters. "It's a long time, with hardly any weekends. Like any footballer, obviously, playing for the national team and everything gives you another plus, but you also have less time. You want to enjoy time with your family, time for me, for them, seeing my children, being with them, traveling more, watching football from a different perspective. And then, in the future, we'll see. "In theory, yes, but let's focus on the present, as there's still a long way to go.""
""I like to finish well in places, to end good stories by my own choice. I think that's how it's been. I could play on, yes, I feel good, I play a lot of games during the season, but I'm not 20, I try to help the team," said Busquets. "But I think it was the right decision, not just physically, but mentally, too. There are many more things to go into that, and I'm very happy, as I said in the video, for the decision, for the trajectory, for having lived a dream I've had since I was littl"
Sergio Busquets will retire at the end of the 2025 MLS campaign and plans to take a sabbatical before pursuing a coaching career. He was honored at Chase Stadium after Inter Miami's 4-1 win over the New England Revolution. Busquets cited the long demands of a football career, limited weekends, and national-team duties as reasons to step away temporarily to spend time with family and children, travel, and view football from a different perspective. He said he still feels physically capable but chose to end on his own terms for mental and personal reasons and expressed satisfaction with his career trajectory.
