Luis Enrique has been reappointed Spain coach after resigning from the role in June due to his late daughter’s illness, Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) President Luis Rubiales said on Tuesday. Rubiales said Robert Moreno, the former assistant coach who steered Spain to Euro 2020 qualification after Luis Enrique left, wanted to stand down so that he could return.

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