After the early end of the World Cup, it’s also over for the coach: the Spanish association separates from Luis Enrique
December 8th
Luis Enrique is not allowed to continue as Spain coach after the early World Cup exit. This was announced by the Spanish football association RFEF on Thursday. “Both president Luis Rubiales and sporting director José Francisco Molina have informed the coach of this decision,” read a press release.
Luis Enrique was defeated on penalties by Morocco in the round of 16 at the World Cup in Qatar with title candidates Spain. The former national player took office in 2018. In 2019, he paused for several months after his daughter Xana was diagnosed with cancer and died at the age of nine.
