Luis Enrique steps down as Spain boss | OneFootball

Luis Enrique has stepped down from his post as coach of the Spanish national team.

The confirmation came at a press conference on Wednesday evening, attended by Spanish FA president Luis Rubiales and sporting director José Francisco Molina.

It was announced that Enrique will make way and will be replaced in the role by Roberto Moreno.

Moreno has presided over the last three games in the absence of Enrique, who did not take his place in the dugout to attend an unspecified personal matter.

That has now resulted in the former Barcelona boss stepping away from his position, after Rubiales sought assurances on his future.

Moreno was the choice of the players to continue as coach, having impressed during his three games in charge, which all ended in victories.

Enrique stands down after less than a year in charge of La Roja, having taken over in the wake of their ill-fated World Cup campaign.

In total, the 49-year-old presided over seven games, winning five and losing two.
