Luis Enrique is aiming to become the first manager to lead his team to consecutive Champions League triumphs.Barcelona
boss Luis Enrique wants to see an end to long-term contracts for
managers, believing they should be hired on six-month deals.Enrique has managed at Roma and Celta Vigo and has won five trophies since taking over at the Nou Camp in 2014."I would make it so there is never a contract of more than six months," said the Spaniard, 45."If I'm not happy and I'm not helping, it makes no sense for me to be a coach. The shorter the better."Enrique
was appointed on a two-year contract and extended that agreement for a
further season last June, keeping him at the club until at least 2017.But
he believes it would make financial sense for clubs to offer short-term
deals, as they would not have to spend large sums of money to pay off
sacked managers."It would be cheaper for the club as well - if
you don't like the manager, you just change it and you don't spend much
money to fire him," he added."I think the future is moving in that direction for both the club and coach to decide whether he stays every year."Enrique's Barcelona take a 2-0 lead into the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie against Arsenal on Wednesday.He said that the days of managers staying at one club for 20 years - as Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has done - are gone."In the modern era, it is impossible," added the former Real Madrid and Barcelona midfielder.
