The Spanish Football Federation expects coach Luis Enrique to resign soon.
This was reported by some local media, such as 'Marca', quoting sources from the federation itself who would have underlined that "we are at the same point as in 2018".
The reference is to the elimination also in that case in the round of 16, when Spain was also beaten in that case on penalties, by the home national team.
"From those days to today - we still read - in the end there have been no improvements, and we find ourselves at the same point".
Thus "confidence in Luis Enrique is no longer the same".
