Luis Suarez: My candidate to replace Luis Enrique is Eusebio

Suarez suggested why Lucho might leave, saying: " It could be that he wants to go somewhere to work a little bit calmer, more lightweight"

At 81, Luis Suarez is a living legend in football, the Spanish 1960 Ballon d'Or winner who used to play for Barcelona.

He spoke to Cadena SER radio about Barcelona's situation when it comes to Luis Enrique's contract. 

"I don't think Luis Enrique will find anything better than Barcelona," he explained. "Better financially, he might find, but he will not have anything better than working on this Barcelona team with the chances to win everything. He knows home, but everyone has their problems and their needs.

"To be coach of Barcelona is tough. There are a lot of media and you have to win everything. Last year was a good year, they won titles and it seems like they didn't do anything because they didn't win the European Cup. That's the measure of it. It could be that he wants to go somewhere to work a little bit calmer, more lightweight."

On a potential successor, he added: "My name I gave months ago, when we played against Real Sociedad: Eusebio. He deserves it. He knows how Barcelona is and is doing well in San Sebastian. I know him well, he is an excellent person. He has got the team playing good football, a team that when the Englishman (David Moyes) came, we didn't know if they were Real Sociedad or a pub team."
