Luis Enrique is excited by the challenge of taking charge of Spain following a year out of the game after his Barcelona departure, though he does not plan to change his uneasy relationship with the media.
The 48-year-old left Camp Nou at the end of the 2016-17 season, having won three Copas del Rey, two La Liga titles and the 2014-15 Champions League.
Luis Enrique takes the Spain job as the permanent successor to Julen Lopetegui, who was sacked on the eve of the World Cup after it was announced he was taking over at Real Madrid following the tournament.
