Moreno, who led Spain to the tournament with a record seven wins and two draws as a temporary and later permanent coach, was in charge when the former Barcelona coach resigned in June to take care of his daughter. Zana, who passed away in September.

After Spain's 5-0 win over Romania on Monday, Moreno refused to speak to the media and instead stayed in the dressing room to offer an emotional farewell to the players, according to reports in the Spanish press.
