Luise Enrique Quit Spain Job As Head Coach

The manager of the Spanish national team Luis Enrique has left his role as head coach following the team’s disappointing exit to Morocco in the last 16 of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

La Roja’s campaign came to an end after they were defeated on penalties by the Atlas Lions of Morocco, having progressed through a group containing Costa Rica, Germany and Japan.

Luis Enrique’s side had earlier demolished Costa Rica 7-0 in their opening game but drew with Germany and a shock defeat to the Samurai Blue ensured their progress to the next stages of the competition as runners-up.

Unfortunately the team’s defeat to Morocco had led to Spanish FA’s decision to part ways with the boss to look for a new direction for the national team.

A source from the RFEF stated that, “The RFEF would like to thank Luis Enrique and his entire coaching staff at the helm of the absolute national team in recent years,” read a statement.

“The sports management of the RFEF has transferred to the president a report in which it is determined that a new project should start for the Spanish Soccer Team, with the aim of continuing with the growth achieved in recent years thanks to the work carried out by Luis Enrique and their collaborators. Both the president, Luis Rubiales, and the sports director, José Francisco Molina, have transmitted the decision to the coach.”

This is not a huge surprise to see Luis Enrique leave his job, as his contract comes to an end by the close of the year. He took full responsibility for his team’s loss to Morocco and admitted after the match that, he wasn’t sure if would continue.
