4 things Luis Enrique will look to do as Spain's new manager

#3 Integrate the younger players

Asensio will be among the young players looking to become first team regulars

For too long, Spain had held tightly to the remnants of the Golden Generation and who can blame them? This was the team that broke all sorts of records winning three international trophies in a row after all.

However, for too long, the former managers; Del Bosque and Lopetegui held on too long to this set of players.

This discouraged the very vivacious set of youngsters that came after the golden ones. Some of the youngsters especially the set that won the European U-21 Championship in 2013 (ironically under Lopetegui) are already in their mid-twenties.

A lot of youngsters have come through Spanish club academies in the years following the win at Euro 2012. These young ones who are excelling in club football across Europe will need chances to show what they can do.

Enrique's record of playing youngsters during his coaching career is not great. However, he has always been an ideas man who likes shaking things up.

It is expected that a lot of these young tyros will get their chance when Spain's campaign in the UEFA Nations League commences.
