'I did not deserve ugly Luis Enrique criticism' - Moreno feels 'personally attacked' by Spain boss

Luis Enrique publicly criticised Robert Moreno this week and the former La Roja coach has now issued a defiant response

Former Spain coach Robert Moreno has insisted Luis Enrique's "ugly" claims that he was "disloyal" and "ambitious" are unfair.

Moreno served as Luis Enrique's assistant for the national team until the latter stepped down in June to care for his young daughter, Xana, who died in August following a battle with bone cancer.

The former became coach at that point and oversaw Spain's qualification for Euro 2020 before he was informed Luis Enrique would be coming back as head coach.
