Spain coach Luis Enrique will speak directly to fans via live streams during the World Cup in Qatar.
“I hereby announce that I will become a streamer,” the 52-year-old declared in a video he posted on Twitter.
He said he will probably start properly immediately after Spain’s arrival in Doha on Friday.
The Spaniard labelled the plan “a crazy idea” but that his goal was to “establish direct contact with fans who are interested in information about the national team. A communication without filters, which should be more spontaneous and natural.”
Spain face Germany as well as Japan and Costa Rica in Group E.
Coaches must hold news conferences a day before a match and straight after a game under FIFA rules.
“Streamers of the world, get out of the way, because I’m going downhill and without brakes,” he shouted loudly at the beginning of his first video.
“You see, I can only improve. The lighting in this video is not right, the microphone is third league level. I can’t change this non-attractive face, but otherwise I can only get better.”
