With just 11 days to go before Spain's European Championship opener against Croatia, the RFEF announced on Tuesday afternoon the renewal of Luis de la Fuente and his coaching staff, who will continue at the helm of the national team until the 2026 World Cup.
"The RFEF has informed the national coach of the final approval of the renewal of his contract, as announced in February, as well as the renewal of his coaching staff," the governing body said.
It should be remembered that last February, the RFEF communicated the extension of the Riojan's contract after the authorisation of the Management Commission, but it has not been until now that it has been confirmed 100%. The news also comes in the run-up to the first pre-Euro test against Andorra.
Luis de la Fuente's path in ‘La Roja’ continues after taking the reins of the national team after the World Cup in Qatar 2022. The coach, in a matter of 18 months, has led the national team in 13 matches, in which he has won 9, drawn 2 lost 2, and won the Nations League 2023.
