MADRID: Barcelona and coach Luis Enrique have agreed to put off talks on a contract extension until early next year, club President Josep Maria Bartomeu said.
Luis Enrique is in his third season in charge of Barca and recently said he would only consider his future at the end of the campaign when his current deal runs out.
Barca are determined to keep the 46-year-old, who has won eight trophies out of a possible 10 in his two years as coach.
“We will not discuss Luis Enrique’s renewal now or at Christmas,” Bartomeu told local radio station Catalunya radio.
“The right time will be in February or March as he said that he didn’t want to talk about it until the end of the season. Now we are thinking about the domestic league and the Champions League.”
