Enrique is Spain’s new head coach

CAIRO – 9 July 2018: The Spanish Football Association announced Luis Enrique as the new head coach of the Spanish national team on Monday.

The Spanish team faced a problem just before the beginning of the World Cup, as the Football Association decided to sack the team’s former coach, Julen Lopetegui, after Real Madrid announced that Lopetegui will take charge of the team after the World Cup. The move led the association to sack him and give Fernando Hierro the responsibility to lead the team during the tournament.

Hierro managed to help Spain qualify to the round of 16, but unfortunately, the team lost to the hosts, Russia, through penalty shootouts.
