Luis Enrique (born May 8, 1970 in Gijón ; full name Luis Enrique Martínez García ) is a former Spanish football player and current coach .

As a player, he played five years for Real Madrid and eight years for FC Barcelona , mostly in attacking midfield or in attack . However, he was valued for his versatility as he had played in almost every position except center-back and goalkeeper. Luis Enrique was considered dangerous and temperamental and was known for his good physical condition and willingness to run.

He began his coaching career with the second team at FC Barcelona . After stints at AS Roma and Celta Vigo , he was coach of FC Barcelona in the Primera División from the 2014/15 season until the end of the 2016/17 season . From July 2018 to June 2019, Luis Enrique was the coach of the Spanish national team , before taking over the national team again after a break in November 2019.

Player career

The attacking midfielder began his professional career at Sporting Gijón (league: 36 games, 14 goals). For the 1991/92 season he moved to Real Madrid, for which he scored 15 goals in 157 first division games. There he also became a national player.

When his contract expired in 1996, he moved to rival FC Barcelona. His fans were initially very skeptical of his commitment, but he soon became a fan favorite and later the team captain . In his first three seasons he scored 46 goals in the Primera División and twice won the Spanish championship (1997/98, 1998/99) and the Spanish Cup (1996/97, 1997/98). By the end of his career in 2004, he played a total of 207 games in the Primera División for FC Barcelona, ​​scoring 73 goals.

For the Spanish national team he scored 12 goals in 62 international matches and took part in the 1994 World Cup , the 1996 European Championship , the 1998 World Cup and the 2002 World Cup. He won the gold medal at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona . He played his first game for Spain in April 1991 against Romania (0-2). After being eliminated from the 2002 World Cup with a 5-3 penalty shoot-out against South Korea , the midfielder announced his departure from the “Selección” at the age of 32 to make room for younger players.

In the 1994 World Cup quarter-finals against Spain, the Italian Tassotti hit his elbow in the face and broke his nose - unnoticed by the referee . Subsequent evaluations of film material by FIFA led to Tassotti being suspended for eight games.

Coaching career

Luis Enrique at FC Barcelona (2015)

For the 2008/09 season Luis Enrique signed with FC Barcelona B , the reserve team of FC Barcelona, ​​a contract as a coach. He led the B team at the end of his second season for promotion to the Segunda División . There, under his leadership, the team achieved third place in the 2010/11 season, the best placement in the club's history.

At the end of the season he left FC Barcelona and signed a two-year contract with Italian club AS Roma , where he resigned on May 10, 2012 after a disappointing season. For the 2013/14 season he took over the Spanish first division club Celta Vigo , which he left after finishing ninth in the Primera División for the following season for FC Barcelona .

In his first season he led FC Barcelona to win the second triplet in the club's history, winning the UEFA Champions League, the Spanish championship and the Spanish Cup. Along with Jock Stein , Ștefan Kovács , Guus Hiddink , Alex Ferguson , Pep Guardiola , José Mourinho , Jupp Heynckes and Hansi Flick, he is one of nine coaches who won the big European triple in men's football. In the summer of 2017 he resigned as coach of FC Barcelona after three seasons with a total of nine titles.

In July 2018, Luis Enrique took over the Spanish national team as the successor to Fernando Hierro . He signed a contract with a term until after the 2020 European Championship (postponed to 2021 in March 2020). After Luis Enrique was unable to look after the national team at the international matches in March 2019 for private reasons, the President of the Spanish Football Association , Luis Rubiales , announced on June 19, 2019 that Luis Enrique had made his position available. The previous assistant coach Robert Moreno , with whom he had previously worked at FC Barcelona B, AS Roma, Celta Vigo and FC Barcelona, ​​has been appointed as his successor . At the end of August 2019, his daughter died of bone cancer at the age of 9 .

In November 2019, Luis Enrique took over the Spanish national team again, which had previously successfully qualified for the European Championship 2021 under Robert Moreno . Moreno had announced in advance that, due to his friendship with Luis Enrique, he would take over the role of assistant coach again if he wanted to return, but left the association. At his introduction press conference, Luis Enrique stated that he was responsible for Moreno's departure. Moreno told him that he would only be leaving the head coach position after the European Championship and that he would become his assistant coach. Luis Enrique described Moreno as "disloyal" and announced that he no longer wanted to work with him. Moreno contradicted these representations.
