He told Diario de Seville: "I was clear that I was going to rest to recover well. Both mentally and physically there has been a lot of dedication and fortunately I can choose when I train and when I stop.
"Everyone at the club was very close to me the entire time and we did the best possible."
On Navas, he continued: "Being like Jesus would be one of the best things that can happen to a father because it is very difficult to be a good person, humble, responsible at work and have the gift of wanting to help.
"It is very difficult to put all that in someone with such a prestigious career. We all want to be Jesús Navas."
