The Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) announced on Wednesday that Luis Enrique stepped down as manager of the country's national soccer team for personal reasons.

Federation president Luis Rubiales said assistant coach Roberto Moreno will take over.

Moreno has been in charge of running of the team since Luis Enrique had to step away for what the federation said were "family reasons" in March.

Since then, Enrique had continued working remotely from his home in Barcelona, receiving video feeds of practices and talking to Moreno and his other assistants.

The former Barcelona manager and player was named Spain boss following the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. He coached the team through the Nations League and its first European Championship qualifier, a 2-1 win over Norway.

Spain has won all three of its European qualifiers with Moreno on the sideline.
