Luis Enrique confirms plans after leaving Spain job.
After leaving La Roja, former Spain manager Luis Enrique revealed his plans and declared his intention to go back into club management.
Enrique was dismissed from his position after Spain’s defeat to Morocco in the World Cup round of 16. He had been hired back in the summer of 2018.
Enrique is now planning to return to club football, where he first established himself with Roma, Celta Vigo, and Barcelona, where he won two league championships and the 2014–15 Champions League.

“I want to coach, I see myself wanting to take on a club and be able to develop with greater finesse and precision what I have not been able to do in the national side,” he told Ibai Llanos on Twitch.
Enrique did confirm, however, that he plans to take some time away from football first.
“I will probably wait for next season. This morning, I was told I’ve been signed up for a mountain bike race that I’m going to do with my brother.”
The 52-year-old has plenty of La Liga experience to his name and has previously spoken about his interest in working in the Premier League.
“I’d like to manage in England at some point,” Enrique said in 2013. “My wife wouldn’t like the weather, she’s from Barcelona and likes the sun. It would depend on the team and the football they played.”
