Luis Enrique leaves role as manager of Spain National Team
The Royal Football Federation (RFEF) has stated that Luis Enrique has resigned as Spain's head coach in the wake of his team's shocking World Cup quarterfinal loss to Morocco.It was announced on Thursday that former Barcelona manager Luis Enrique would not be renewing his contract, which was set to expire at the conclusion of the tournament in Qatar.
A sentence said: "The RFEF expresses gratitude to Luis Enrique for leading the absolute national team in recent years, as well as to the full coaching staff he employed. "A report from the RFEF's sports management has been forwarded to the president, in which it is determined that a new project should begin for the Spanish Soccer Team in order to maintain the progress seen in recent years as a result of the efforts of Luis Enrique and his associates. The choice has been communicated to the coach by both the president, Luis Rubiales, and the sports director, Jose Francisco Molina.
Since 2018, Luis Enrique has been in command of Spain, with the exception of a four-month absence in 2019 due to the illness and eventual loss of his little daughter. Last year, he took La Roja to the 2020 Euro 2020 semi-finals, where they fell to Italy on penalties, and to the 2020-21 Nations League final, where they were defeated by France. After losing on penalties to hosts Russia in the 2018 World Cup's round of 16, Spain lost to Morocco to leave the competition for the third time in a row.
When asked about his future following the game, in which Spain made 1,019 passes but only managed one shot on goal, Luis Enrique replied, "I can't tell you." My coworkers have already asked, and I don't know because I don't know the outcome. "I shouldn't be discussing my future right now. Even if my contract is about to expire, I'm satisfied with the national team, the federation, and the president. "I could always keep on, but I need to consider and have peace of mind about what's best for me and my national team," the player said.
