Luis Enrique returned to his role as manager of Spain on Tuesday, having temporarily stepped down in June for personal reasons.

Two months later, the former Barcelona manager shared the tragic news that his nine-year-old daughter Xana had died following a five-month battle with bone cancer. During his absence, Roberto Moreno oversaw the team, but said in September he would step aside should Luis Enrique decide to come back.

Following Spain's 5-0 victory over Romania, which completed their Euro 2020 qualification campaign, sources had told ESPN FC that Moreno was to be dismissed from his role.

And the head of the Spanish FA, Luis Rubiales, confirmed Luis Enrique's return in a news conference: "We signed a contract in which it was left clear that when Luis Enrique wanted to return, he could.

"That same day I said that in the moment Luis Enrique felt strong enough to return, the door was open. We have acted with complete openness. Since the death of his daughter, we have spoken three times. First on Aug. 29, I gave him my condolences.

"At the end of October we spoke, and yesterday we spoke. Between the first call and the meeting at the end of October, Robert Moreno told us he had spoken with Luis Enrique and he had told him he wanted to return to work -- we found out through Robert Moreno."

"On Sunday [sporting director Jose Francisco] Molina spoke to Robert Moreno. Robert Moreno, with everything coming out, said: 'I want to know what you're going to do now.' Molina said: 'Let's talk after qualifying.' Moreno said again: 'I want to know.' Molina said to him: 'Look, if Luis Enrique wants to come back, to lead the project he started, we will evaluate that possibility.'

"That was the conversation on Sunday. Yesterday we received a message from Robert Moreno. He said he wanted to agree to his departure and not be an obstacle to the return of Luis Enrique.

"I called Luis Enrique around noon. I told him what was going on. I asked Luis Enrique if he would return to his post. Luis Enrique said yes. He is delighted to return, and thanked us for sticking to our word. Molina then set up a meeting with Robert for today at 10 a.m. to discuss everything.

"The first one to know everything, that Luis Enrique wanted to return, was Robert. We have been really happy with Robert. We thank him for his work. But the leader of this project was Luis Enrique."
