The former Barcelona gaffer disclosed that he was aware that Begiristain will be leaving the English Premier League defending champions, and expressed gratitude to him for his contributions to the club.
“A part of me is leaving. A friend of mine and the architect to create one of the best teams ever at Barcelona and now here.
“I knew the decision for a long time, a family reason, personal reason. I know how grateful he is for his experience here,” he told journalists.
He added that Begiristain’s absence will be felt when he will eventually leave, especially in the challenging times.
