Louis de la Fuente was rewarded for his leadership in Spain to succeed in the 2024 European Nations Championship by extending his two -year contract.
The 63 -year -old contract was scheduled to expire after the 2026 World Cup, but is now linked to the Spanish Football Association until the end of Euro 2028.
De la Fentei did a great job without a sensation after Luis Enrique succeeded in this position after Spain left the round of 16 in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

After working in the Spanish Football Association in various roles in the youth team for nine years, de la Fente rose to the highest position and achieved almost immediate success, and chose a more balanced group approach and helped remove some big names.
He also put a great confidence in the youth, as the two wings were Lamal and Nico Williams, the two main factors in their success in Germany last summer.
The upcoming matches for Spain will be held in March when the Netherlands face in the home and away matches in the quarter -finals of the European Nations League.
