Rubiales will renew Luis Enrique

Luis Enrique has shown in this Eurocup who is the great leader of the Selection. And it will remain so in the World Cup 2022 and beyond. The Asturian coach has set up a National Team in his image and likeness and with a great future. And he will continue in that line because it has worked for him in this Eurocup reaching the semifinals.

The coach has the full support of Luis Rubiales, president of the Federation, and José Francisco Molina, RFEF sports director. His contract extension is underway. Neither party is in a rush, but in when the classification is sealed to be in Qatar, Luis Enrique will extend his contract at least until Euro 2024, to be held in Germany.

Luis Rubiales wants to be faithful to the custom of the Federation to extend the contracts of the coaches when they achieve qualification for the final phase of a World Cup and extend them until the next Eurocup and so on.

The expansion will take place when Spain qualifies for the 2022 World Cup. In September the qualifying phase is resumed with matches with Sweden, Georgia and Kosovo, in a group that is also Greece.

Spain is first of that group B with 7 points after three games played, with victories against Kosovo and Georgia and a draw against Greece, which took place in Granada and which makes the National Team play without margin of error. Luis Enrique must carry out those three games that are played on September 2, 5 and 8 to get the qualification for the 2022 World Cup on track, which will mean his contract extension. Not qualifying to play the Qatar World Cup is not a possibility that is handled in the RFEF, since Spain has played every World Cup since Argentina 78.

Without a doubt. Rubiales did not doubt his commitment to Luis Enrique at any time. Not even in the moments of greatest nervousness when the first two matches of the Eurocup were drawn and the presidents of several territories demanded the head of the coach in case Spain had been eliminated in the first phase. Then Luis Enrique declared that he was going to renew how comfortable he was in The Red. And Rubiales will renew you.
