World Cup-winning manager signs contract extension with Spain | OneFootball

Coach Luis de la Fuente has signed a contract extension with the Spain national team. The coach, who won the World Cup in 2026 against Argentina, has agreed to a new deal running through the end of Euro 2032, which will be held in Turkey and Italy.

With this, de la Fuente will lead the entire cycle for the 2030 World Cup, where he will aim for back-to-back titles with Spain. The agreement for his renewal had already been worked out in recent months. However, the signing was announced this Monday by Rafael Louzán, president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation.

During the next six years of his contract with the Spain national team, the coach will have top-level competitions through the 2030 World Cup cycle. He will lead the country at Euro 2028, the 2030 World Cup, and Euro 2032. In addition, he will also compete in three editions of the Nations League: 2027, 2029, and 2031.

Luis de la Fuente led Spain to a historic unbeaten streak

As part of his contract renewal, de la Fuente also received a pay raise. The coach has enjoyed a successful spell with the national team. To give an idea, so far he has won the Nations League, the European Championship, and the World Cup. Of all the competitions he has taken part in, the only one he did not win was the 2015 Nations League. In that competition, Spain lost to Portugal on penalties in Munich.

In the meantime, the coach has led the European side in 50 matches. He has won 38 games, drawn 10 times, and lost only two matches. What stands out is that only one defeat, against Scotland, came in an official competition. The other loss came in a friendly against Colombia. With him, the national team has gone 39 official matches without losing.
