WHAT HAPPENED?
Luis Enrique's daughter Xana passed away at the age of nine in 2019 due to osteosarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer. The coach has received praise for his openness in discussing the loss in a three-part documentary about him that was released earlier this season.
"The most negative experiences of your life are the ones that teach you the most. [People might think:] 'But your little girl, your daughter, died aged nine…'. My daughter came to live with us for nine wonderful years. We have a thousand memories of her," he said. "You may ask whether I consider myself fortunate or unfortunate. I consider myself to have been fortunate. Very fortunate."
