Luis Enrique has been reappointed as 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 was the manager of FC Barcelona from 2014 to 2017 before being appointed as Spain boss.
