Luis Enrique vows to retain style of previous Spain coaches

Luis Enrique has promised Spain will continue to play the same way as under previous coaches after naming his first squad.

Spain drew plaudits for their style and established themselves as the world's leading nation in winning three successive major tournaments under Luis Aragones and Vicente del Bosque between 2008 and 2012.

However, they endured a difficult World Cup in Russia after Julen Lopetegui departed on the eve of the finals, interim appointment Fernando Hierro overseeing a last-16 shoot-out loss to the hosts.

But Luis Enrique, familiar with the possession-based game from his time at Barcelona, sees no reason to change things ahead of his reign beginning against England next week.
