Luis Enrique will be named manager of Spain.
Fernando Hierro, who stepped in as caretaker manager after Julen Lopetegui was sacked on the eve of the World Cup, announced on Sunday he was leaving the RFEF and would not revert to his role as football director.
Enrique left Barcelona in May of 2017.
Spain were eliminated in the Round of 16 of the 2018 World Cup.
