World Cup‑winning head coach Luis de la Fuente has signed a new contract with Spain, keeping him in charge until 2032. The deal gives the national side long‑term stability as it prepares for the next major tournaments.
Luis de la Fuente has agreed a new contract with the Spanish Football Federation that will keep him as the national team’s head coach until 2032. The extension follows the conclusion of his previous agreement, which was set to expire in the coming months.
De la Fuente is a world cup‑winning head coach, having led his side to a major international triumph. His experience and success have made him a key figure in Spain’s footballing plans.
The new contract provides the Spanish side with a clear long‑term direction, allowing the federation to build around a stable leadership structure. It also signals confidence in de la Fuente’s approach and the progress he has made with the squad.
Stability is especially important as Spain looks ahead to the next major competitions. With Euro 2024 on the horizon, the extended tenure will enable de la Fuente to prepare the team over a longer period and to develop a consistent playing philosophy.
Looking forward, de la Fuente will continue to guide Spain through Euro 2024 and into the 2026 World Cup cycle, with the extended contract ensuring he remains at the helm for the duration of these tournaments and beyond.
