I want to salute the players, who have made a huge effort - so much of which has been for me. I also want to thank all the people who work for the Club who I've not been able to say goodbye to". He also apologised: "I'm very sorry for the last moments. I can say that I've worked with strength and enthusiasm until the end.

Finally, he made it clear that beyond La Liga results, he will have good memories of his months in charge: "I want to thank everyone. The Club, the Chairman, the players and the fans. It's been a marvellous experience, we've made history and it's an honour to have been coach at the time. We've paid for all the effort made in the Champions League and Copa del Rey in La Liga. Thank you everyone, for me it's been an experience I will never forget".
