Luis Enrique has resigned as coach of the Spanish national team due to personal reasons. His second-in-command, Robert Moreno, will take charge now.
The former Barcelona coach had already missed the game against Malta due to the same issues.
“We have always respected him a lot and I want to thank him. He has carried himself excellently. There is no reproach and he will always have the doors to the federation open,” said the Spanish Federation’s president Luis Rubiales.
Rubiales went on to say that the problem was “private and could not be managed,” and it was the manager’s decision to quit.
