Luis Enrique, the coach of Spain, was relieved of his functions this Thursday, December 8, two days after the elimination of his team in the round of 16 of the 2022 World Cup, lost against Morocco on penalties ( 0-0 ap, 3-0 tab). He had led the selection since July 2018 and had led the Spaniards to the semi-finals of Euro 2021 and then to the final of the 2021 Nations League, without succeeding in winning a title. Luis de la Fuente, until now coach of the Spanish under-21 selection, has been chosen by the Spanish Football Federation to take over from him. The 61-year-old technician will lead his first matches at the head of the first team next March, during the qualifications for Euro-2024 in Germany.
