The elimination of Spain by Morocco was fatal to them. Released in the round of 16 of the 2022 World Cup with Spain, Luis Enrique is no longer the coach of La Roja. As anticipated for several days now or even weeks because his contract was soon coming to an end, the former FC Barcelona coach has been dismissed from his duties by the Spanish federation, which is looking to start a new project. The RFEF announced it on its social networks in a press release.
“The RFEF sports management has sent the president a report in which it is determined that a new project should start for the Spanish football team, with the aim of continuing the growth achieved in recent years thanks to the work carried out by Luis Enrique and their collaborators. The president, Luis Rubiales, and the sporting director, José Francisco Molina, conveyed the decision to the coach. (…) The RFEF strongly wishes Luis Enrique and his team the best of luck in their future professional projects”, can we read in particular in the press release. Luis de la Fuente, coach of the Hopes, is approached to succeed him.
