New head coach of Spain Luis Enrique gave the first press conference.

Luis Enrique spoke about his future plans as head coach of the Spanish national team.

"First of all, I want to thank for the confidence of President Luis Rubiales, the sports director Jose Francisco Moline and the board of directors of the Spanish Football Federation," Luis Enrique is quoted by the official website of the Spanish Football Federation. - This is a very serious challenge, and I'm glad that I will have to face him. I am very grateful also to my predecessors, Julien Lopetega and Fernando Hierro, who left me an excellent team. I admit that I dreamed of ever heading the national team, and in my team there will be players for whom the "fury of the rocha" is also a dream of their entire life. In Spain, a very rich selection of performers, both established masters, and young talented players. This allows us to look to the future with hope. I'm not a supporter of revolutions, I prefer evolution, so we will not change anything radically.. The basis of the game of the Spanish national team will still be work with the ball, but some aspects need serious strengthening. Also, I'm not going to abandon the veterans who for many years were the basis of our team. With each of them I want to talk personally. I'm not a magician, and I can not promise that since the next tournament, Spain will start winning everything.

But we have an excellent "launch pad", and I am sure that if we work hard and players, coaches, and workers of the federation, we will come to success ".

In September, the Spanish national team led by Luis Enrique will start performances in the League of Nations by duels against England (September 8) and Croatia (September 11).
