Spain has secured Luis de la Fuente as head coach until 2032 with a contract extension announced on Friday, rewarding the manager for his success in leading the nation to consecutive championship triumphs.
De la Fuente guided Spain to victory at the 2024 European Championship before steering the team to triumph at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The six-year extension reflects the federation's confidence in the 63-year-old coach's ability to maintain the country's competitive edge in international football.
The new deal represents a significant commitment from Spanish football authorities, ensuring continuity and stability within the national team programme through the next Olympic cycle and major continental competition.
De la Fuente took charge of the Spanish national team in 2023 and has since transformed the squad into a dominant force in European and world football. His tenure has been marked by tactical innovation and the development of a cohesive team unit that has delivered immediate results on the international stage.
The extension signals the federation's intention to build a sustained period of success, with De la Fuente now contracted to oversee the team's preparation for and participation in the 2028 Olympic Games and subsequent major tournaments leading up to the 2032 European Championship.
