The Spanish federation announced that Luis de la Fuente has extended his contract as national coach to 2032, with the 2030 World Cup, co-hosted by Spain with Portugal and Morocco, firmly in view.
The renewal had been expected for several days and was confirmed on Monday. The 65-year-old remains in charge long term.
Appointed in 2023, De la Fuente delivered colossal results, winning Euro 2024 and the 2026 World Cup, and reaching the 2025 Nations League final.
The move was presented as a project rooted in stability and trust, built on confidence in De la Fuente and the sporting plan he leads across a multi-year run of major tournaments. He has been described as the most decorated coach in the national team’s history and as deserving a long future at the federation.
Looking ahead, he will aim to guide his golden generation again at Euro 2028, the 2030 World Cup and Euro 2032.
