Barcelona's Gerard Pique announced his retirement from Spain duty on Saturday, and new La Roja manager Luis Enrique has confirmed there will be no reversal in the centre-back's decision.
The former Barcelona manager, appointed Spain boss last month after the 2018 FIFA World Cup, said the 31-year-old's decision to call it a day must be accepted, per TVE (h/t Sport):
"The situation is exactly as he told it. It's an irreversible decision. We gave him time to think about it, but when we spoke he'd already made his mind up. There's no other choice but to accept his decision and recognise what he's done for the national team.
