A surprise regarding Luis Enrique departure from coaching the Spain national team

Press reports revealed a surprise regarding the departure of Luis Enrique from coaching the Spain national team after the exit from the 2022 World Cup.

Spain was eliminated from the World Cup last Wednesday, after losing on penalties to Morocco.

And the Spanish Football Federation announced the dismissal of Enrique from his position in coaching the Spain national team, yesterday, Thursday, after bidding farewell to the World Cup.

According to the Spanish newspaper “cope”, Luis Enrique intended to remain in his position as coach of the national team.

And the Spanish newspaper reports that the former Barcelona boss is keen to continue in his role in order to right wrongs after an awful World Cup campaign.

Spain won one of their four matches, crushing Costa Rica 7-0 in their opening match, then drawing with Germany before defeating Japan to advance to the Round of 16 in second place and then losing to Morocco on penalties.

And the Spanish reports indicated that the Spanish Federation decided to dispense with Enrique, despite his strong desire to continue.

The presidents of the Spanish Football Federation decided it was time for a change after the team's performance below expected levels.

And it was decided to appoint Luis de la Fuente, coach of the under-21 team, as coach of the Spain national team, to succeed Enrique.
