Luis Enrique, who left his post in June because of the illness of one of his daughters, becomes Spain coach in replacement of his former deputy Robert Moreno, who had been inducted, said Tuesday the Spanish federation ( RFEF).

Luis Enrique returns to the controls after spending several months with his family daughter Xana, died in late August to nine years of bone cancer. He will lead Spain to Euro 2020 (12th June - 12th July), a competition for which Moreno qualified.

The fourth coach since the summer of 2016

"Today we can confirm that Luis Enrique is returning to his workstation," RFEF President Luis Rubiales said, adding that "it has always been clear that if Luis Enrique wants to come back, he will come back." "Luis Enrique has sent us his desire to come back," said Rubiales, according to whom "the door has always remained open for him to come back."

Luis Rubiales had already surprised the soccer planet by sacking Julen Lopetegui on the eve of the 2018 World Cup. With the return of Luis Enrique, it is already the fifth term (for four breeders) since the departure in summer 2016 of Vicente del Bosque , crowned world champion in 2010.
