Spanish sport united around Luis Enrique after the devastating news that his nine-year-old daughter, Xana, passed away on Thursday.
Enrique stepped down from his role with the national team in June for personal reasons but also missed the last three matches of his 11-month tenure.
The 49-year-old revealed on Thursday that his daughter had died following a battle with bone cancer.
Lionel Messi, who played under Enrique at Barcelona , was among the football stars to pay tribute to the Spanish manager and his family.
He wrote on Instagram : "My condolences to Luis Enrique and his whole family at these difficult moments. We're with you, mister. All of the strength in the world."
Spain and Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos said: "Mister, all our support and love for you and your family.
"There are no words, but you always have us by your side."
Ramos' Madrid team-mates held a minute's silence during training on Friday morning as a mark of respect.
Barcelona, who Enrique guided to Champions League glory in 2015, tweeted: "Our condolences and all our sympathy to Luis Enrique and his family at this very difficult time. RIP Xana."
Real Madrid, where Enrique spent five years as a player, also conveyed their "deepest condolences" in a short message on social media, while the Spanish Football Federation said: "The RFEF mourns the sad loss of little Xana.
"We want to show our condolences to the family and friends."
Another of Enrique's former clubs, Roma, said they were "heartbroken" at the news, adding that their thoughts were with the family "at this impossibly sad and difficult time".
Enrique announced the news on Thursday night in a heart-wrenching statement that read: "Our daughter Xana has passed away this afternoon at the age of nine, after fighting for five intense months against osteosarcoma.
"Thank you for all of the love received during these months and we appreciate the discretion and understanding.
"Thanks also to the staff at the Sant Joan de Deu and Sant Pau hospitals for their dedication and treatment - doctors, nurses and all volunteers. A special mention for the palliative care team at Sant Joan de Deu.
"We will miss you very much but we will remember you every day of our lives with the hope that in the future we will meet again. You will be the star that guides our family."
