Arsenal-linked Luis Enrique is being tipped to return to his position as the Spanish national team boss.
Just months after leaving the role following the death of his young daughter, it is being suggested that the former Barcelona man is in line to return.
According to reports in Spain, as cited on football.london, he has been offered the job for a second time.

Given the circumstances surrounding Enrique, you couldn’t blame him for feeling like he has unfinished business with the Spanish national team.
Robert Moreno had been impressing after taking over from Enrique, but the former Barcelona boss had long been linked with a return.
It’s a blow for Arsenal after reports claimed that the Gunners had made contact with the 49-year-old, with pressure mounting on Unai Emery.
It does little for the growing calls for the latter to be sacked either. With Enrique now off the market, the list of available managers that could step in if Emery is sacked is even shorter.
It is unclear whether or not Arsenal would consider an interim boss until the end of the season, but they may be forced to hold out until the summer if nobody is available mid-season.
