“Coach, I only have words of thanks for the time I have had you as my coach,” Carvajal penned on social media. “Thank you very much for your commitment, dedication and for making me a better player every day. Thanks to all the staff who have been by our side all these years, I wish you all the best. I’m sure we will meet again in the future.”

“You have been able to take this golden generation to the top with class (and several times!). I can’t thank you enough for all the advice you’ve given me, both on and off the pitch. Thanks again, boss! Good luck and see you soon, I hope!”
