Spain tie down Luis de la Fuente! National boss signs until 2032 | OneFootball

Luis de la Fuente will remain in charge of the Spanish national team until 2032. The Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) confirmed the coach’s contract extension during the World Football Summit, adding four years to a deal that was originally set to expire after Euro 2028.

The announcement was made by RFEF president Rafael Louzán, who highlighted the results achieved by the coach and revealed that the new agreement includes a significant improvement in his financial terms.

De la Fuente will remain in charge of Spain

The renewal represents the continuation of the project that led Spain to win the major international titles during De la Fuente’s spell.

Louzán explained that the Federation’s intention was always to keep the coach after the results he had achieved.

The president also made clear his intention for De la Fuente to be able to finish his career on the national team bench.

The coach’s previous contract had been signed in January 2025, but after the recent successes both parties began working on an extension.

A contract that comes after winning the World Cup

The renewal comes after De la Fuente led Spain to victory in the 2026 World Cup, cementing a record that already places him among the most successful national team coaches in the history of Spanish football.

The coach had previously won the Nations League and the European Championship before adding the world title.

The new contract will run until 2032, a particularly significant year for Spain as it will be one of the main hosts of the World Cup.

De la Fuente, however, avoids looking too far ahead.

De la Fuente, among Spain’s greats

In less than four years as senior national team coach, De la Fuente built a trophy haul that places him alongside some of the most important figures in Spain’s history.

He won the World Cup, like Vicente del Bosque; the European Championship, like Luis Aragonés, José Villalonga and Del Bosque himself; and the Nations League, the title that began his time in charge of the senior side.

He also joined Vicente del Bosque and Helmut Schön as one of the few coaches to have won both a World Cup and a European Championship.

His work with Spain’s youth teams was also outstanding. Before taking over the senior side, he won the 2015 UEFA European Under-19 Championship, the 2019 UEFA European Under-21 Championship and the 2018 Mediterranean Games, as well as claiming the silver medal at the Tokyo Olympics.

The renewal comes before his first squad list after the World Cup

The announcement comes just two days before De la Fuente names his first squad after the World Cup.

Spain will begin a new cycle with four Nations League matches:

The training camp will begin on September 22, officially starting a new era for the world champions.

Luis de la Fuente has already secured his future: Spain will remain under his command until 2032, with a new contract that recognizes the title-winning cycle he has built since taking over the senior national team bench.
