RFEF confirm Luis Enrique will return as Spain boss

The Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) confirmed on Tuesday that Luis Enrique will return as manager of the Spain national team and replace Robert Moreno.

Enrique stepped down from the position in June because his nine-year-old daughter was seriously ill, and she tragically passed away in late August.

Moreno took the reins and helped Spain qualify for Euro 2020, although he always said he would step down if Enrique indicated he would return.

Reports have claimed that Moreno left the Wanda Metropolitano in tears on Monday after Spain’s 5-0 win over Romania after finding out he was going to be replaced.
