​DONE DEAL: Luis Enrique appointed Spain boss

Spain have wasted no time in finding a new manager following their disappointing World Cup campaign.

Caretaker manager Fernando Hierro will be replaced by former Barcelona and Roma manager Luis Enrique.

A unanimous decision from the Spanish football federation sees Enrique sign a two year contract, which runs until Euro 2020.

Enrique was linked with moves to Arsenal and Chelsea this summer, but neither move materialised.

He impressed at Barcelona, winning two La Liga titles and one Champions League in three years.
