Luis Enrique keen on Premier League job but Spurs unlikely

Former Spain and Barcelona coach Luis Enrique wants to work in England but has apparently ruled out replacing Antonio Conte at Tottenham.

Luis Enrique parted ways with Spain after the 2022 World Cup, which saw La Roja knocked out by Morocco in the Round of 16.

He was replaced by Luis de la Fuente, who left the Under-21s, leaving Luis Enrique back on the market.

Links to high-profile jobs have been frequent since, but the club he seems to have been most associated with is Spurs, who sacked Conte on Sunday after a week of intense speculation suggesting his time was over.< /p >

Although Luis Enrique was not asked directly about Spurs in his first big interview of the year, he expressed a desire to work in the Premier League.

But the fact that he doesn't expect to work in England as early as July suggests the Spurs job would be a non-starter.

"I would like to go to England to work," he told Radio SER Gijon.

"But I don't see myself in the Premier League in July because I would like to go there in a team that can do important things, and it's very difficult.

"I wouldn't go to [just] any Premier League team."

The 52-year-old was also among the big names linked with the Brazil job, which Tite left following the failure of the Selecao's Qatar 2022 campaign.

Luis Enrique has confirmed that he has received offers from national teams - Brazil not being one of them - but he seems less interested in returning to the international scene.

"I don't see myself coaching Brazil," he continued. "Another coaching profile fits in better than mine.

"They didn't call me. I don't know if my style fits best in Brazil.

“I have had offers from national teams, but not from clubs. It would have to be a very important [national] team to win it, although it would be very difficult for me to face the Spain. I don't know if I'll be ready."
