Gerard Piqué: “I’m very excited by the return of Luis Enrique to the national team”

Barcelona defender Gerard Piqué has said he is excited about the return of Luis Enrique to the Spanish national team. Piqué does not play for Spain anymore, but he did play under Luis Enrique when he was Barcelona’s manager.

Luis Enrique’s appointment came in controversial circumstances as rumors said the previous manager, Gerard Moreno, was blindsided by the re-appointment of the Asturian coach, who had resigned due to a personal tragedy earlier this year.

“I do not know what is happening or what has happened. I have not talked to any of my Barça teammates because they played against Romania on Monday,” the defender said.
