Luis de la Fuente has extended his contract as coach of Spain until 2032, as announced by the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF). This new agreement will last for six years and includes preparations for the 2030 World Cup and the Euro 2024 to be held in Italy and Turkey.

The 65-year-old coach was first appointed as the national team manager in 2013. De la Fuente led the team to victory in the 2026 World Cup, as well as triumphs in a European Championship and a Nations League title during his tenure.

The RFEF's decision was formalized during a meeting of its executive committee in Madrid. With this renewal, the federation demonstrates its confidence in the work De la Fuente has done over the years.

De la Fuente has recently become an emblematic figure for the national team, achieving great success in international competitions. This ongoing success has led to a vote of confidence, resulting in a long-term commitment.

The coach expressed his satisfaction with the contract renewal at an event held at the Ciudad del Fútbol in Las Rozas, where he emphasized the importance of continuing to work hard to maintain the high standards he has set with the team.

The renewal ties De la Fuente to the national team during a crucial period, focusing on competing strongly in upcoming international tournaments and further solidifying his legacy in Spanish football.
