• Barking instructions from the sidelines by football coaches could be a thing of the past with Spain leading the way with a new technological innovation
• Luis Enrique directed instructions from a distance with the help of a walkie-talkie as Spain prepared for their forthcoming UEFA Nations League fixtures
• The Spain boss also took time to explain his decision to include Nico Williams, who was also eligible to represent Ghana, in his squad

Luis Enrique continues to set the pace with his innovative approach to coaching, creating a perfect synergy between cutting-edge technology and professional football.

Each name is read out as the 52-year-old gaffer cycles higher into the mountains with football fans enjoying his bold approach to his squad announcement.

In a video posted on Twitter, seen by Sports Brief, Spain's coach Luis Enrique is seen directing a training session via walkie-talkie from what appears to be a scaffold.
