On the 7th of this month, Spanish footballer Ennistar put an end to his professional career, and immediately afterward, he has been working non-stop on a brand new challenge - coaching courses. It is rumored that he is expected to return to his alma mater, Barcelona, in the future to teach soccer skills to the younger generation.
Ennistar moved from Japanese side Kobe Victory FC to Emirates FC in the UAE in the height of summer last year, contributing five goals in 23 games before opting to officially retire in early October. It is reported that the 40-year-old Spanish star has long enrolled in the UAE FA's coaching training, showing his eagerness to start his coaching career as soon as possible.
Ennistar took to social media platforms to express his joy: thanks to the UAE FA for inviting me and giving me the opportunity to study on the first day of the coaching course. Given Barcelona's tradition of hiring well-known players to return to their alma mater, such as Cruyff, Guardiola, Abidal, Lampard and Xavi, it is widely predicted that Ennistar will most likely return to Barcelona and start as a grassroots coach after receiving his coaching license.
