Published December 8, 2022 5:47 AM

DOHA, Qatar (AP) — The Spanish soccer federation says Luis Enrique will not continue as coach of Spain following the team’s elimination in the round of 16 of the World Cup. The announcement comes two days after Spain lost to Morocco 3-0 in a penalty shootout. The federation has thanked Luis Enrique but says it was time to “start a new project” to keep the growth achieved by the coach in recent years. Luis Enrique took over the national team in 2018 to start revamping the squad after its elimination in the round of 16 of the World Cup in Russia.
