Spanish football officials have opted for a change
The Spanish FA has reacted to the shock FIFA World Cup exit at the hands of Morocco on Tuesday by sacking national team coach Luis Enrique.
The 55-year-old former Barcelona boss took charge of the Spanish team over two spells, his first between July 2018 and March 2019 – after which he resigned for personal reasons before reassuming his position in November 2019.
“The RFEF would like to thank Luis Enrique – and his coaching staff – for being in charge of the national team over the last few years,” said the Spanish FA in a brief statement on Thursday.
It added that a “new project” will soon start but made no mention of when Enrique’s successor could be appointed, though further reports have since indicated that Luis de la Fuente, a longtime coach of Spanish underage teams, is set to take charge.
