• World The saddest hours of Spain in Qatar and a very strange Luis Enrique: "Something broke"

  • Exclusive Rubiales returns the expenses of the Salobreña party that he denied

The usual impetus of the

president of the Federation, Luis Rubiales

, has precipitated, as has happened on previous occasions, events.

Luis Enrique

was more in favor of waiting a few days before speaking and putting in writing what both parties were clear about: that they were not going to continue together.

However, Rubiales has accelerated things and this Thursday,

the Federation has announced that Luis Enrique will not renew his contract

as coach.

Right now, the favorite to fill

his position is the now sub'21 coach, Luis de la Fuente

.

Despite the fact that months ago it seemed that the decision to continue or not after the World Cup was going to be solely in the hands of the Asturian, since the beginning of 2022 the change of scenery in the Federation was obvious.

After the good performance of the Eurocopa, no one dared to question that Luis Enrique would decide his future

, but this attribution of success, almost exclusively, to the bench, began to erode that premise.

After the

Qatar fiasco

, even if he wanted to (which it didn't seem like), the Federation would not have accepted.

At the moment, there are two names on the table: Marcelino García Toral

, who had rejected several offers waiting for this bench (not only this bench, but also this bench),

and Luis de la Fuente

.

The Federation would opt for the sub'21 coach for various reasons.

First, he is a man of the house, with all that that entails (less economic pretensions, more facilitation to endorse the idea that the Federation has, etc...).

Second, because he knows the vast majority of the players who are currently in the absolute ranks ("for the only one I'm sorry for, calling so many young people, is Luis de la Fuente, who always takes two or three footballers away from him", said Luis Enrique recently).

And, third, because,

if the play goes wrong

, in June,

After the League of Nations final

in the Netherlands,

it would not be traumatic to dismiss him

and put the team in the hands of someone more contrasted.
