Luis Enrique sacked
After a poor 2022 World Cup campaign, Luis Enrique’s tenure as Spain’s manager is over. La Roja started off by thrashing Costa Rica 7-0, but Morocco ousted them in the round of 16 after losing on penalties. The Spanish Football Federation has finally made the announcement of Luis Enrique’s sacking as a coach (RFEF).
They made the decision not to extend Luis Enrique’s contract. Which was due to expire at the end of the year, after a dismal campaign in Qatar. We expected Spain to go far in the competition, but they were only able to do so after coming in second to Japan in Group E.. A determined Morocco team then eliminated them.
