Spain's Coach Luis de la Fuente Signs Contract Until 2032
Luis de la Fuente, the coach of Spain's national football team, is set to sign a new contract that will keep him in his role until 2032, as announced by the Spanish football federation (RFEF) on September 21, 2026. This extension will cover the upcoming European Championships in 2028 and 2032, as well as the 2030 World Cup.
De la Fuente, who is 65 years old, took over as head coach in 2022 after replacing Luis Enrique. Under his leadership, Spain has achieved significant success, winning the World Cup, Euro 2024, and the 2023 UEFA Nations League title.
Rafael Louzan, the chair of the Spanish FA’s board of directors, praised de la Fuente as the most successful head coach in the national team's history, emphasizing that this long-term contract is well-deserved after 14 years with the organization. Spain's next matches include a game against England on September 26 and a home match against Croatia in Seville.
