Luis Enrique has left his role as Spain boss following the team’s disappointing exit to Morocco at the last 16 of the 2022 World Cup.

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

Luis Enrique’s side had demolished Costa Rica 7-0 in their opening game but a draw with Germany and a shock defeat to the Samurai Blue ensured they progressed as runners-up.

Defeat to Morocco then followed and Spain have now decided it’s time for a change.
