Martino announces Barcelona departure

Gerardo Martino has declared he's leaving Barcelona.

The 51-year-old came to a mutual agreement to exit the club following just one season in charge.

"In agreement with the club I am no longer the coach," Martino said after Barca lost the title to Atletico Madrid yesterday.

"I deeply regret not having achieved the goals that this club has always been set and achieved.

"These are great players. My greatest gratitude goes to the players. They have made me proud."

Barca's sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta said: "We are grateful to 'Tata'. This has been a tough season."
